Course content
For 20 years, the MA Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies at Ulster University has been preparing new professionals to work in the heritage and museum sectors in Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, and GB.
In this engaging programme, we explore the practices, policy requirements, and current issues shaping the heritage and museum sectors. We address issues dominating the sector, such as decolonisation and repatriation. We consider the role of heritage in a post-conflict society. We explore audience engagement and skills needed for exhibition development and cultural management.
Through up-to-date course material, guest speakers from the sector, visits, and placement experience, you will develop the knowledge and skills required to work in the heritage, museum and arts fields.
You will meet our alumni, who share their experiences as visiting lecturers. Our alumni are now working in National Museums NI, local museums and heritage, and the National Trust. They have roles in learning and outreach, curatorship, conservation, and management.
