Student Profile(s)

Rosling MacDonald

This course is split between the archaeology and management schools and is a mix of lectures and seminars. The mix of archaeology and management means that I am learning about archaeology and heritage, as well as the wider heritage industry. There are also a number of field trips for some of the modules, which have allowed me to see different approaches to heritage management and discover new places!
