What will I learn?

If you’re interested in shaping policy or practice in the heritage sector, or undertaking further academic studies in the area, this Master’s is ideal. Studying at UCL’s Institute of Archaeology, one of the UK’s most diverse archaeology departments – you’ll get a deep insight into the role of heritage in today's global context, be immersed in UCL’s art and archaeology collections, and benefit from the unrivalled resources of London's museums. This programme will introduce you to key theoretical approaches and practical issues relevant to the cultural heritage sector today. You will be taught by experts in heritage, museum, archives and collections. The flexible structure allows students to choose a more theoretical or a more practical degree. You can also make it multi-disciplinary by taking modules from other departments such as Anthropology, History of Art or History. The programme is aimed both at those who wish to study cultural heritage as an academic subject, and those who wish to obtain employment within this broad sector. The degree caters for students from a wide range of academic disciplines and diverse backgrounds who wish to study this rapidly growing interdisciplinary field.
