The MPhil in Heritage Studies focuses on the interdisciplinary field of Heritage Studies. The Department of Archaeology is the principal institution providing heritage studies teaching within the University of Cambridge at the MPhil level. It also draws upon the resources of several other Departments and Faculties in the University of Cambridge to support its teaching programme and reflect and promote the interdisciplinarity which is characteristic of the field.

The overall aims are: 

  • To enable students to attain a critical appreciation of the development of heritage as a public enterprise, its theory, its values and uses. By the end of the course, students are expected to understand the broader context in which the heritage sector operates, the approaches and methods employed by professionals in the field, and to be able to enter a range of professions within the heritage industry.
  • To enable students to think both reflectively and analytically about the field and the nature of heritage. By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to apply their critical thinking and knowledge about heritage  to particular specialisations and be able to pursue independent research in their field of specialisation.
  • To give students training in a range of general, transferable skills, such as analysing and formulating arguments, writing, presentation, debate, and research skills.. By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to exercise these skills in any professional-level work which requires them.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this MPhil, students should have an understanding of the broader context in which the heritage sector operates, the different theoretical approaches to heritage, the ethical, epistemic and political implications of heritage theory and practice, the main national and international frameworks for heritage policy the methods employed by professionals in the field, and to be able to enter a range of professions within the heritage industry and beyond.
