Program Overview

Explore how the past is celebrated, obscured and recreated. You’ll study of a wide range of historical subjects, places and periods with a particular focus on heritage and public history.

The Heritage and Public History pathway offers you a solid grounding in historical skills, but extends them to encompass the analysis of places, objects, and buildings. You’ll consider:

  • How we turn ‘history’ into ‘heritage’
  • How cultural heritage has become such an important focus for study and debate
  • Who we think we are and how we negotiate our way through a complex world.

Alongside developing a specialism in heritage and public history, you’ll gain practical experience. We’ll help prepare you for a possible career, through activities such as planning a project, writing for the general public, and a placement in a museum or historic house. The insights you gain here could be invaluable in a wide range of jobs, including in the heritage sector itself.

By undertaking in-depth study in heritage and public history, you’ll be able to examine and confront the power of the past in the contemporary world. This takes us from the World Heritage City of Bath, on our doorstep, to the destruction of heritage sites in Iraq and Syria; from the history of slavery to its silent, largely unacknowledged memorialisation in the buildings of the city and the great houses set in the surrounding countryside.

Against this background, you’ll also explore the importance of heritage in the local, regional and national economy, how museums ‘work’, the skills needed to work in the museums and heritage sector, and some of ways in which the past is presented to and consumed by all of us. We’ll help you to take complex historical ideas and think about how to present them in different ways to different audiences; and how to apply these skills outside the University.
