Vision and Values Statement
The Graduate Diploma in World Heritage Management & Conservation is aimed at students who wish to develop their knowledge and skills to become highly competent managers of cultural and natural heritage sites and protected areas. The degree provides knowledge of world heritage management theory and practice, a range of skills in communication, interpretation and management strategies and an appreciation of the role of cultural and natural resources in contributing to wider environmental, social and economic goals. We value motivated students who show a commitment and enthusiasm for tackling conservation challenges and recognise their responsibility as global citizens. We aim to provide a learning environment that will encourage students to develop their capacity for critical thinking, problem solving, project management and teamwork. To this end the programme incorporates project work, research, case studies, workshops, role play and presentations as part of the teaching, learning and assessment strategies. The programme also includes site visits and field trips, which expose students to best practices in heritage management. The programme is multidisciplinary and strives to recognise the interlinkages in the management of cultural and natural heritages by removing dichotomy and taking a holistic approach. In doing so we welcome students from diverse backgrounds and offer the opportunity to develop skills and expertise needed to deal with heritage management and conservation as a whole.
