Course summary

Our specialised MA in Public History and Heritage draws on the research expertise of the Manchester Centre for Public History and Heritage, providing students with access to archives, historians and networks far beyond just those in the University. The course trains students in the specifics of public history and heritage and is suitable for those considering a career in heritage management or associated fields, such as libraries and archives, tourism or local government, or wishing to progress onto higher research programmes. Alongside your studies, you will undertake a placement related to your research interests, organised in collaboration with staff members, and drawn from our extensive network of regional contacts. Previous placements have included National Trust properties, the People's History Museum, and the Holocaust Exhibition and Learning Centre (Huddersfield).

Career prospects

The course aims to equip you with the skills to progress to higher research programmes or for a career in heritage management or associated fields, such as libraries and archives, tourism or local government. With the analytical and self-expression skills gained on the course, many have gone on to pursue careers and further study in business where these skills are desired.

You will also develop skills as an independent researcher and have the option to experience specific, practical training for careers related to the heritage sector.
