This course covers two routes through the MA: the cultural heritage research route which concludes with a dissertation and the professional practice route which concludes with an analytical case study report. Many of our postgraduates move into an academic career, either teaching or by taking up post-doctoral research positions in universities. Others join museums or national and regional heritage organisations. Some work in professional archaeology, in national or local planning departments, while others elect to use their analytical and presentation skills to gain positions in industry, commerce and government.
