Digital heritage has many rewarding career paths.
Digital heritage offers exciting opportunities across a wide range of careers—from archaeology and cultural heritage management to museum studies and heritage tourism. With modern technology, you’ll learn how to create, interpret, and communicate high-quality heritage records and immersive experiences.
These in-demand skills are vital for preserving the past and shaping the future of heritage work in an increasingly digital world.
With a digital heritage major, you’ll have the freedom to shape your own path in life. You’ll be studying towards an amazing career, like one of these:
Digital heritage consultant
A digital heritage consultant specialises in the preservation, management and presentation of cultural heritage using digital technologies. This includes digitising artifacts, creating virtual exhibitions, managing digital archives and developing interactive tools like 3D models or augmented reality experiences.
They work with museums, cultural institutions and researchers to enhance access to heritage while ensuring digital preservation standards are met. By combining cultural knowledge with technical expertise, digital heritage consultants help bring the past to life for modern audiences and future generations.
Museum curator
A museum curator manages collections of art, artifacts or historical objects. They research, acquire, and interpret items, designing exhibitions that educate and engage the public. Curators also oversee preservation efforts and may contribute to publications or public programs, helping to connect audiences with cultural and historical heritage through thoughtful curation.
