Course description

We're currently reviewing the title and structure of this course and there may be changes to core and/or optional modules. If you apply and are made an offer for this course we will be in touch once any changes are approved.

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to address challenges in global cultural heritage. You have the opportunity to develop skills necessary to work in the heritage industry and beyond, and to learn about debates and challenges in heritage management, digital heritage, archaeology, and the creative industries.

We build our courses around real-world challenges. Our students contribute their own broad interests and expertise to debates and issues, ranging from sustainability to popular representations of the past. Students visit cultural heritage sites and meet with professionals in the sector.

Graduates in cultural heritage studies at Sheffield go on to work in the heritage industry, in local government and in academia.
