The second year MA Heritage Management distance-learning students have recently had their study week in Northern Ireland.

While the focus was inevitably on the Titanic exhibits, the group also studied in detail the troubled heritage of Northern Ireland as well as the more tranquil National Trust houses and the World Heritage Site of Giant's Causeway. The group also met with senior museum and conservation leaders to explore how heritage is managed in the six counties.
