Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Heritage encompasses natural, cultural, tangible, intangible and moveable assets that face many threats.

We are interested in exploring issues of heritage management, sustainability, participation, values, continuity, sustainable development, and the role of heritage in everyday life.

To explore these complex and often interlinked concerns we welcome collaborations with colleagues from different disciplines and heritage places.
