You take three compulsory modules (60 credits) which cover: issues and ideas; management; and communication and interpretation. This is followed by two specialist modules (40 credits): heritage education, and interpretation 1 and 2. A tailored eight-week work placement (20 credits) at a heritage site or in a heritage organisation completes the taught part of the programme. You also undertake a piece of individual research as a 12-15,000-word dissertation (60 credits). Teaching emphasises a practical approach, dealing with real objects, sites and situations. Students enrolled in the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) complete all the taught modules and the work placement, but not the dissertation.
