The University of Liverpool is excited to launch two new master’s degree courses in September 2021.
MA Sustainable Heritage Management
The Liverpool School of Architecture is introducing an inter-disciplinary course in sustainable heritage management theory and practice. The new programme is fully recognised by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), and follows the academic guidelines of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS).
With over 2500 listed buildings and an urban landscape encompassing a range of architectural styles representing 300 years of built history, the city of Liverpool is itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a fantastic place to study this new course.
The university has partnered with various specialist heritage organisations and researchers, and students will have the opportunity to participate in practical placements in the UK and abroad, designed to broaden their scope of study, and enhance the employability of its graduates, as well as strengthening the research output of the university.
MA The Beatles: Music Industry and Heritage
The new master’s programme examines the cultural legacy and historical significance of The Beatles, exploring how their music and story are entwined within creative and cultural industries spanning local, regional and international media, tourism, and heritage sectors.
This dynamic and exciting new MA will be launched in parallel with the opening of the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre, a new GBP 22 million teaching and performance facility at the university, which will serve as a world-class learning environment, housing a 600-seat lecture theatre and a 400-seat auditorium.
Students will discover the course through collaboration with the Liverpool Beatles tourism sector, and will benefit from a programme of guest lectures and workshops, as well as visits to venues and sites across Liverpool and Merseyside which were significant in the Beatles’ formation, and early years.
Closely tied to nine Nobel Laureates, the University of Liverpool is well-known for its prestigious research and education. It has top-class facilities and provides excellent support, both contributing factors in helping the university place within the top 200 universities in the world.
The university engages in pioneering research that tackles some of the world’s biggest issues. Its teaching is delivered by inspiring experts in their fields who are at the forefront of innovation and discovery.
Students can take advantage of the university’s worldwide research partnerships. They will be empowered to think beyond their textbooks, lecture halls and classrooms, and apply what they’ve learned to benefit the world they live in. Students will graduate from the university with a degree from an esteemed institution and a range of academic, professional and social skills – giving them an edge in the graduate job market.
