Ph.D. in Heritage Studies

A Ph.D. in Heritage Studies is typically a 4-6 year program that provides advanced, interdisciplinary training in the critical analysis, preservation, and interpretation of cultural heritage. Cultural policy, museum studies, heritage management, heritage tourism, and the social and political components of heritage are among the subjects covered in the curriculum. Students carry out original research to create novel solutions to problems in fields like cultural revival, historical conservation, and the portrayal of disadvantaged histories. They frequently work with government organizations, heritage organizations, or community stakeholders. Graduates of this program are equipped for work in government heritage agencies, academic institutions, research institutes, cultural heritage organizations, and non-profit advocacy groups, where they can use their knowledge to advance the equitable and sustainable management of both tangible and intangible cultural resources.
