The Managing Archaeological Sites MA examines why certain archaeological and heritage sites, including World Heritage Sites, are selected for preservation, and how power relationships and different perceptions of contemporary values impact upon this. It explores international and local approaches to how sites can be successfully managed, conserved and presented to preserve their significance.

Students will understand the theoretical issues surrounding heritage management, and how to apply a planning process to holistic and sustainable site management, based on the recognition of a site's values to interest groups. Students will learn practical approaches to a range of challenges, including participatory processes, physical conservation, digital documentation, visitor management, site interpretation, World Heritage nomination, and heritage tourism. They will also master a technical vocabulary to communicate with site management specialists.

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The programme consists of a core module (30 credits), optional modules (60 credits), an optional work placement and a research dissertation (90 credits).

Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MA in Managing Archaeological Sites.
