The past can be exploited; it can be corrupted; it can be used to create myths, legends and to forge identities. This course is ideally suited to anyone interested in learning about the past and how it is represented (or even misrepresented) by the heritage industry. You will explore historical and archaeological evidence and differing interpretations of it. Practical and transferable skills gained will prepare you for a variety of career options.
