Career opportunities
I really enjoyed the way this course introduces you to the most interesting discourse, concepts and priorities within the cultural heritage sector right now.
I also valued the range of backgrounds within the teaching staff which enabled me to pick a dissertation topic I was interested in and related to the career path I hoped to pursue.
