Testimonial

"I could not have expected more from this course, from beginning to end, it has been an extremely rewarding experience. As a philosophy graduate, I was initially worried that I would facing a steep learning curve. Thankfully, this was not the case. The MASH course covers such a broad range of material and perspectives that I was able situate myself within the field of heritage with ease, whilst also comfortably developing new knowledge and contributing my own perspective. The interdisciplinary nature of the programme created an environment in which my previous academic background felt like an asset rather than a limitation."
