Heritage University of Hertfordshire

Overview

Students of the  Heritage PhD course offered by University of Hertfordshire follow the programme as part of a cohort, supported by research training and supervision shaped to their needs from across the disciplines of History, Education, Digital Humanities, Creative Writing, Creative Arts, and Law. This highly interdisciplinary approach to heritage is part of the unique provision for the DHeritage at the University of Hertfordshire. Students select their topics and training according to individual needs and interests, and current developments in the field.

Heritage flourishes at local, national and international levels where it takes many forms and its contribution to community building, economic prosperity, cultural adaptation and a sense of belonging is widely recognised. It is a dimension of all spheres of human activity and lends itself to study across disciplinary boundaries.
