Doctorate in Heritage

Heritage flourishes at local, national and international levels where it takes many forms and its contribution to community building, economic prosperity, cultural adaptation and a sense of belonging is widely recognised. It is a dimension of all spheres of human activity and lends itself to study across disciplinary boundaries. The Professional Doctorate in Heritage (DHeritage) programme is aimed at professionals who work in, or desire to work in, the heritage field broadly defined, whether in the private or the public sector. It attracts those who are employed in planning, museums, archives, community history, archaeology, and social and cultural sustainability. It appeals to practitioners who want to reflect on and contribute to the latest thinking in what is a dynamic and ever-changing

Candidates for whom English is not their first language will require certification of English language competence (IELTS minimum TOEFL 6.5, preferably higher). At admission, candidates will be allocated a Principal and one or two Co-Supervisors based on the research area they have set out in their Research Proposal and in their interviews.
