First of all, the course structure is very engaging, not only with expertise in archaeology and heritage but also with management content such as cultural marketing. As students, we have the opportunity to choose the framework that best suits our future development while gaining interdisciplinary thinking skills.        

Secondly, I was particularly impressed by the comprehensive reading lists for every module. In addition to the required readings for weekly seminars, there is an abundance of further readings that can cultivate critical thinking and systematic knowledge. If these resources are utilised wisely, they can lead to many unexpected insights and inspirations. The MA Cultural Heritage Management also includes a large number of extracurricular activities, such as visiting museums and going on field trips to parks, which shows us that knowledge is not limited to texts and classes, but is everywhere around us!

Further, I want to extend my sincere thanks to all the lecturers and tutors. They are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they have offered me a great deal of support and assistance.
