MA Cultural Heritage and International Development

MA Cultural Heritage and International Development. Cultural heritage is an increasingly important aspect of developing country economies and societies, because of its role in education at all levels, and in international tourism. As the Nobel prizewinning economist, Amartya Sen, has argued, well-being is not only about material welfare and social relations, it must also include cultural expression. This innovative Masters programme brings together the advanced postgraduate study of cultural heritage and international development to enable students to acquire the training and skills required in professional management of heritage in developing countries. This will allow you to work in arenas of work that bring together art, trouism, culture, development and meseum management. The degree programme is taught jointly between the prestigious School of World Art and Museology and the internationally renowned School of International Development at the University of East Anglia. It involves three compulsory units and three optional units, a dissertation, and a placement to gain practical experience.

A good first degree in a range of social and/or humanitarian disciplines, as well as some experience in the field of development or cultural and cultural, museum, heritage or tourist organisations. International applicants should have an English language score of at least 6.5 on the British Council IELTS test (minimum 6.0 in all components).
