MA in Heritage Management (Διαχείριση Πολιτιστικής Κληρονομιάς)

The MA in Heritage Management is an intensive three semester (one and a half academic year) postgraduate programme which uniquely combines the worlds of archaeology and business and is taught in Eleusina, Athens, an area of world-class archaeological significance. It focuses on teaching the skills required for the management of heritage sites across the world and how to effectively work with archaeologists, architects, conservators, and marketing / education specialists while fundraising and supervising specific projects.

A Unique MA
This MA has many unique characteristics:

• This MA is the only MA taught in English internationally that is a collaboration between a leading Business School of Southern Europe with one of the top 30 MBAs internationally (AUEB) and a dynamic British Archaeology Department with world class projects in Heritage Management.
• It is taught at a world class archaeological site.
• Its courses have been designed by world class specialists, taking into account the particular needs of archaeology, in subjects such as Human Resources Management, Education and Archaeology, Tourism Marketing, Archaeological Site Conservation, Strategic Planning, and Finance for Cultural organizations. No other MA in the English language teaches these key areas with specific reference to the special needs of archaeology.

Transferable Skills
All courses are useful and designed in such a way so as to provide transferable skills both for Cultural resources management, or, more generally, for any other field of the business world. So, despite the fact that Heritage Management is a fast growing niche market, your skills and degrees will be useful for a great number of careers.
