Cultural Heritage work is available in the following areas - moveable heritage (museology), cultural environment (built) and local and oral history. Prospective DCA students include MA or MCA graduates wishing to do further study, overseas students, secondary-level and university educators in the arts and professionals working in related areas.

Course Organisation
This course is studied as a research degree. The content of the degree should be determined in consultation with the Faculty's Postgraduate Coordinator. Students without prior studies in research methods may be required to undertake relevant preparatoryunits. This will increase the stated course duration.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials. Schools will not bear the expense of projects involving unusual cost for example, a student wishing to make a film would have to provide the film stock and fund the post-production costs, and a student mounting an exhibition would have to pay for framing and or installation expenses. Thesis preparation and binding, and other costs are normally covered by doctoral students.
