Course Description
Cultural heritage is an increasingly important aspect of developing country economies and societies, because of its role in education at all levels, and in international tourism. As the Nobel prizewinning economist, Amartya Sen, has argued, well-being is not only about material welfare and social relations, it must also include cultural expression.
This innovative MA programme brings together the advanced postgraduate study of cultural heritage and international development to enable students to acquire the training and skills required in professional management of heritage in developing countries. This will allow you to work in professional arenas that bring together art, tourism, culture, development and museum management.
The degree programme is taught jointly between the presitigious School of World Art and Museology (ART) and the internationally renowned School of International Development(DEV). The MA is available both full-time and part-time. It is structured so as to explore the essentially interdisciplinary nature of cultural heritage and its management, with an emphasis on development studies, intangible heritage, and the global environment.
