This programme, the first in the UK and internationally, extends and complements our very successful MAs in Heritage Education and Interpretation and Heritage Management. It offers a mixture of taught modules and two work-based placements (eight and 36 weeks), providing you with a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and understanding, and practical experience.
After completing your MA, you take a supervised and mentored work-based placement module (80 credits) over 36 weeks in a heritage institution, organisation or agency. The International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies (ICCHS) will set up this placement for you after a detailed discussion. Previous cohorts of MPrac students have carried out the placements with: BALTIC Centre for Comtemporary Art; Beamish North of England Open Air Museum; Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums; the Great North Museum and Hartlepool Arts, Museums and Events. The work-based placement requires the submission of a project agreed between the placement host organisation, student and the University.
