About this program
Culture and Heritage Management - MPhil/PhD
As a doctoral student, you will pursue original research in the fields of culture and heritage management, with the goal of making a significant contribution to knowledge in, and understanding of, this field.
As a postgraduate researcher you will become an integral part of our research community, working with leading academics whose research has gone on to impact cultural heritage policy and practice on an international scale. There is an emphasis on your own independent critical investigation, supervised by an experienced team of academics. You will benefit from participation in the Visitor Economy Research Group and the Heritage and Archives Network at the University.
You will have access to a structured Program of training supported by our Doctoral School. This aims to assist you in the development of the practical and critical skills which are necessary for this Program and are transferable to your career. There may also be opportunities to participate in undergraduate teaching following relevant training.
Admission requirements
Normally candidates should hold a 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent in a relevant subject. You should also hold a Master's degree, or international equivalent, at merit or above.
While academic credentials are important for a successful application we also pay great attention to the fit of students to both the Program and the research interests of our academic team. Applicants are assessed based on their previous academic performance, the quality of their research proposal, and the availability of suitable members of staff to supervise the chosen research topic.
If you would like to undertake a PhD, but do not currently have a Master's degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject, you may want to consider studying one of our Master's Programs.
International students will require English Language at IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in each element, or equivalent.
