This course has been renamed Heritage and Tourism (previously Heritage and Conservation) for 2016 entry onwards. The course provides a broad-based interdisciplinary training in heritage and tourism that is rigorous and intellectually challenging, as preparation for, or as an enhancement to, a career in this area.
It combines the applied business and heritage-specific skills of Forth Valley College's HND programme, with the advanced academic skills in heritage of the University's BA (Hons) course. It is designed to equip students with sector-specific and applied business and academic skills which are appropriate for an understanding of contemporary Heritage management issues and promotional and interpretative methods and techniques. This will provide students with a knowledge, understanding and experience relevant to careers in the sector.
Further, the course will provide graduates with a broad knowledge and understanding of contemporary challenges facing the management, promotion and conservation of the historic and natural environments, both within Scotland and internationally, and equipping them with the skills necessary for the future development of key economic assets.
