Topic Coordinator approval required for enrolment in this topic

ARCH8508 has been successfully completed

This topic allows students to undertake a mini-research project with an Industry Partner in an area of applied heritage or heritage management practice. Each student will choose a project based on their interests, and work closely with their supervisor and Industry Partner to complete an in-depth study. Assessment for the topic consists of a major written assignment, plus an oral presentation of the research. The assignment will give evidence of the student's abilities in collecting and evaluating information; constructing, testing or defending an argument; and critically examining the available literature in their area of enquiry. Some projects may also require field work, lab work, or archival research. Students may suggest their own areas of research, but this must be developed in consultation with the topic co-ordinator.

This topic aims to:

• allow students to undertake an in-depth research project into one area of cultural heritage management

• allow students to develop particular knowledge relating to an area of cultural heritage management

• improve the students' research skills and their ability to evaluate literature

• improve the students' ability to construct, test and defend an argument

On completion of this topic students be able to:

• undertake independent literature based research projects

• critically assess literature relating to cultural heritage management, archaeology and cultural tourism

• construct, test and defend an argument

• understand theoretical, practical and/or political approaches to cultural heritage management at a sophisticated level
