Cultural Heritage PhD

The University of Edinburgh

This programme will offer you the opportunity to conduct in-depth, rigorous research on a specific problem within the appropriate disciplinary environment, under the supervision of experts in the field.Once understood as a conservative discipline, cultural heritage is emerging as a set of experimental practices, engaging with contemporary developments including:new technologiesreconceptualisations of the tangible and intangibleshifting global relationschanging epistemologies of the pastmovements towards participatory democratisationThis evolving discourse is too complex to belong to one single subject area or its traditions. The Cultural Heritage PhD offers a way to engage with these multidisciplinary considerations and to benefit from synoptic insights when addressing them.
