MA Cultural Heritage Management

at University of Lincoln

The programme combines modules that examine culture and heritage management from the perspective of both users and managers. Students study seven compulsory modules and an optional module.
 

Modules cover attractions and collections and, as so much cultural and heritage activity occurs within the context of tourism, there are also modules that link culture and heritage management to tourism and events, focusing on the important issue of sustainability.
 

In addition to the taught element of the programme, students are expected to complete a dissertation which encourages innovation and diverse pathways to the final award.
 

The compulsory modules are:

- Critical Perspectives on Cultural and Heritage Management
- Arts, Performance and Society
- Collections Management and Care
- Digitising Cultural and Heritage Collections
- Research Methods for Tourism Events and Hospitality
- The Visitor Experience at Cultural and Heritage Attractions
- Contemporary Issues in the Visitor Economy
 

The following list of optional modules is illustrative. Timetabling arrangements may limit the availability of modules to some students and to run, modules depend on a minimum number of participants. As the options reflect staff research interests, they may alter over time due to staff availability.
 

- Community Organisation, Sustainability and Development
- Comparative Human Resource Management
- Digital Marketing
- Gender, Power and Business
- Group Consultancy Project
- Social Entrepreneurship
- Strategy Making
 

Many modules on this programme use a 'flipped classroom' approach: students are asked to undertake preparatory tasks before a formal session, whether face to face or online. The session itself, whether tutor or student-led, then allows plenty of time for discussion. One of the compulsory modules, 'Collections Management and Care' includes some lab-based work.

• First or second class honours degree.
• Overseas students will be required to demonstrate English language proficiency equivalent to IELTS 6.0 overall, with a minimum of 5.5 in each element. 

The fees for MA Cultural Heritage Management may vary from £16,000 to £25,000 annually for tuition fees. The fee's prices may get higher for International Students.

Graduates of the MA Culture and Heritage Management have gone on to a variety of careers, including curatorial posts in specialist and county museums, setting up their own heritage businesses, and managing backstage operations at music festivals. Others have gone on to further study at PhD level.
