Profile
The master’s programme in Heritage and Museum Studies at Leiden University focuses on the relationships between past and present, the role of heritage in our society, and how our heritage can contribute to improving the quality of life and the environment.
You will take a course in Archaeological Theory and you choose an area profile, in which you will apply your knowledge. You can focus on the Netherlands, but also on the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the Near East or other parts of the Americas or Europe. Also, you follow two elective courses.
A large part of the programme is intended for writing the thesis. In this thesis, the results of practical investigations are presented, combined with literature studies.
Seen from an archaeological perspective and in so far as they are relevant to heritage management and modern museum practices, this master’s specialisation combines academic and practical aspects of cultural and landscape studies, politics, cultural theory and the environmental sciences.
This fascinating journey will take you through current approaches and ethical issues and allows you to experience some of them in daily practice.
