About University of Brigant
Historic UK university (founded 1883) with Edinburgh campus and tuition-free online degrees.
Overview
University of Brigant’s MA Heritage and Cultural Management is for people who already juggle condition reports, festival risk, and the politics of who gets to interpret Scotland in a gallery or a close. Based in Edinburgh with a tuition-free online twin, the degree treats heritage as operations: collections care, visitor flow, funding, and community objection—not as a creative-writing course with a castle in the background. You will write a collections or events paper that a trustee can interrogate, read listing and planning interfaces without pretending to be a conservation architect, and keep dual-pathway parity. No invented royal warrants and no fake institutional logos.
Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
