Program Overview

If you don’t yet meet the entry requirements for the UC course you’re aiming for, UC College’s diplomas –  also known as higher education diplomas – will provide you with an introduction to your chosen study area. They act as an alternative entry pathway for admission to UC undergraduate courses and prepare you for university study.

Bachelor of Arts (Culture and Heritage)
This distinctive course allows you to take your passion for culture and heritage, and turn it into a rewarding and sustainable career. Building on the core skills and knowledge embedded in the Arts degree, you’ll bring the richness and complexity of culture and heritage alive across its many forms – from the material, to the intangible and the digital.

You’ll explore heritage in a variety of global, social, cultural and political contexts, with a particular focus on Indigenous and First Nations issues. Your critical and technical skills will be developed while you engage with diverse cultures and communities, heritage places, landscapes and cultural collections, all within the unique location of Canberra, with its abundance of world-class museums and cultural institutions.

Study a Bachelor of Arts (Culture and Heritage) at UC and you will:

  • Interpret and apply the principles and ethics of cultural heritage and conservation
  • Work collaboratively in complex and sensitive environments, recognising the need to incorporate multiple perspectives in cultural practice
  • Apply the technical skills and knowledge needed to manage, conserve and share heritage effectively
  • Develop and integrate professional skills and discipline knowledge into changing professional, cultural and technological environments.

Work Integrated Learning
Work Integrated Learning is at the very centre of the Bachelor of Arts (Culture and Heritage). You’ll learn from industry-active professionals and world-class scholars and will work and study in real-world situations via site visits, online project work, field trips, internships, professional experience and mentorships. You’ll complete units designed to help you develop the professional skills essential for employment in the cultural sector, and will have the opportunity to participate in international work and study experiences as part of your degree through Study Abroad.

Previous Culture and Heritage students have undertaken internships across a range of different local, interstate and international organisations, including the Australian War Memorial, National Trust of Australia (Victoria), Queensland Museum, Cardiff University, Sydney Artefacts Conservation, National Wool Museum, the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, and the Museum Resource and Learning Centre in the UK.
