To advance heritage management, conservation, and engagement there is a need for highly trained practitioners with the ability to apply rigorous scientific and technical knowledge to solve cultural heritage challenges. The Heritage Science route of the Sustainable Heritage MSc will introduce you to a unique assembly of scientific disciplines, drawing from physical sciences, engineering, imaging, computing and social sciences to address cultural heritage research questions. With access to world-leading laboratories, you will learn a range of analytical techniques and scientific methods and apply them to real-world heritage challenges.
Heritage Science is an expanding interdisciplinary field, requiring professionals that have both technical and scientific skills and an understanding of the heritage sector. The Heritage Science route of the Sustainable Heritage MSc will provide you with access to a wide range of state-of-the-art scientific facilities and labs, teach you new analytical methods and give you the opportunity to address fascinating research questions within heritage science.
Crucially, this route will situate this scientific learning firmly in the context of the realities of the heritage sector. Students will have access to real heritage sites, opportunities to engage with experienced practitioners from the heritage sector and the ability to apply their learning to real heritage challenges. You will develop transferable skills of leadership and management with the guidance of informed heritage and business professionals, in a teaching environment designed to promote debate, individual thinking and mutual understanding.
Normally a minimum of a second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applicants with degrees of a lower classification but with considerable senior-level professional experience may also be accepted. Please note that a special qualifying examination may be set.

You will develop skills in the use of scientific methods in a cultural heritage context, including practical laboratory-based skills. You will also learn how to evaluate and communicate the results of scientific studies and to transform their findings into practical actions that can support decision-making and change in the heritage sector.
There is an opportunity to work closely with a heritage organisation or practice during the route which is facilitated through the professional networks of the academic staff, including our guest lecturers, many of whom come from prestigious heritage organisations.
All students will gain access to an extensive alumni network of professionals who have taken the course and are now leaders in the field.
