Our Global Heritage Management course covers key aspects of heritage interpretation, management and visitor engagement.

You will develop an advanced awareness of the political, economic and social contexts affecting heritage organisations nationally and internationally.

You’ll learn how to care for tangible and intangible heritage in a responsible and inclusive way, now and in the future. We encourage a hands-on approach.

You’ll gain practical skills through case studies and placements, and enjoy a series of visiting speakers and visits to heritage sites.

You will study with a team of expert staff and heritage professionals in collaboration with organisations including:

  • the National Trust
  • English Heritage
  • UNESCO (United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation)
  • ICOM (International Council of Museums)
  • International Coalition of Sites of Conscience
  • Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums (TWAM)
You’ll graduate ready for a variety of careers in heritage organisations or to conduct further research.

The city of Newcastle and the North East region offer a wonderful resource. We have two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, many heritage venues and over 80 regional museums and galleries.

Much of the region's countryside is designated as National Park or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The course is part of Media, Culture, Heritage in the School of Arts and Cultures. We have a thriving, high-profile interdisciplinary research community with world-leading expertise in the field.

You will be part of a dynamic group of experienced academic researchers, heritage practitioners, doctoral researchers and fellow students from around the world.
