Experience the Best of Cultural Heritage Management at Bath Spa University

Bath Spa University is an ideal location for studying heritage management due to its rich cultural heritage and history. The city of Bath is home to numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Roman Baths and the Royal Crescent, which provide students with unparalleled opportunities for hands-on learning and practical experience. The university's location in the West Country also offers access to a diverse range of cultural and historical sites and landmarks, providing students with a unique opportunity to gain practical experience in managing and interpreting cultural heritage.

You’ll explore how heritage sites are managed, presented and explained. We’ll teach you to consider their value beyond something to see or a place to visit.

What challenges are heritage bodies currently facing? What choices do they make in dealing with them? How will pressures on public funding for heritage in the UK – and further afield – shape our experience of visiting and working in museums and heritage sites in the future? And how will our wider understanding of heritage change as a result?

Trying to answer such questions provides a framework for practical work in the sector, underpinned by hands-on, supportive teaching. We want you to become involved in a range of projects, working with our extensive range of partners, and to gain experience on the ground.
