Hear from our academics
"With over 10 years of experience working in the heritage sector, what excites me most about the Heritage, Sustainability and Society BA is that it is designed to equip students with the skills to apply critical thinking in public practice, and make the positive sustainable changes that are urgently needed. We are here to build the next generation of global leaders and thinkers, grappling directly with some of the most pressing social and environmental questions of our time."
Dr Johanna Zetterstrom Sharp, Associate Professor in Heritage Studies "
Everywhere you look, people are talking about data and technology. Our programme puts students who are passionate about society and humanities subjects right at the heart of those conversations and sets them up to lead. Through this groundbreaking programme, we're helping to make sure that future decision-makers have communication and humanities skills, the ethical grounding required to make informed decisions, and learn the technical and data skills they’ll need to keep up in businesses, government, and cultural heritage roles. This is a programme that we believe offers the best of both worlds."
