Career Pathways
This unique course will offer graduates opportunities to pursue a career in museum education, public programs administration, collection management, heritage site interpretation, community organisations, protected area management agencies, Indigenous land councils, and across the cultural sector in policy and planning. Employers value our graduates because they demonstrate personal and intellectual autonomy, abide by strong professional and ethical values and are able to engage with current debates about the place of humanities in public life.

Graduates of the program will have developed the knowledge base and skills necessary for modern museum and heritage practice and research by investigating the theory and history of tangible and intangible aspects of cultural heritage and the collecting of cultural and natural objects, methods of display and interpretation within the evolving nature of the museum as a concept and as an organization. They will also have experienced meaningful professional practice within the museum and heritage sector, which is increasingly becoming a pre-requisite for a career in these highly competitive areas.

Professional skills gained by graduates include:

A contextual understanding of core historical and theoretical developments in museum and heritage studies;
A theoretical overview of frameworks for managing collections and sites and a practical understanding of the modes of interpretation used in the museum and heritage sector;
An ability to undertake object and site research, significance assessment, archival research and exhibition development and to contribute to heritage studies and conservation management plans;
A broad understanding of the need for and practice of personal and professional integrity and ethical behaviour and of its particular importance in this field.
