BA Cultural Heritage Studies: Libraries, Archives and Museums

The Cultural Heritage Studies course has a strong history component and allows you to combine an interest in history with practical and theoretical understandings of how information is valued and utilised in all walks of life - historical, educational and social. Offered jointly by the Department of History and Welsh History and the Department of Information Studies, this degree draws upon our established strengths in professional training in information and library studies, archives and records management, alongside History and Welsh History. You will receive training in the management and use of information, heritage resources, archives and records in both digital and physical formats. You’ll also develop skills in the application of information technology in this field. This degree scheme promotes your ability to conduct research, to investigate and analyse, and to articulate your ideas. Opportunities for students of Cultural Heritage Studies at Aberystwyth include: studying in a historically ‘information rich’ town that includes the National Library of Wales (one of only five copyright libraries in the UK, and home to the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales, and a regular host of exhibitions relating to Welsh culture and heritage); the Welsh Books Council the Royal Commission for Ancient and Historical Monuments, Ceredigion Museum, the University libraries and archives, and a range of other relevant resources and organisations being taught by experts in their field.
