According to UCL’s 2025 entry page for Cultural Heritage Studies MA, the programme provides practical and theoretical approaches to key issues in cultural heritage, emphasizing the role of heritage in society, and leverages the resources of London’s museums and UCL’s collections. It introduces students to theoretical issues and the social and political contexts in which cultural heritage is conceptualised and managed, allowing students to shape a more theory-led or practice-led pathway via optional modules and a dissertation (total 180 credits). External listings for 2025 reiterate the focus on sector-relevant skills, policy/practice orientation, and career routes across museums, heritage agencies, consultancies, and international bodies such as UNESCO/ICOMOS. Note: UCL presents the programme as Cultural Heritage Studies MA within the Faculty of Social & Historical Sciences (Institute of Archaeology); a distinct MSc title is not shown on UCL’s 2025 page—if an MSc variant is sought, applicants should confirm with UCL admissions.
