Course Description

This higher-level apprenticeship (level 5) has been designed with the help of employers to create a non-graduate entry and progression route into cultural heritage management. Its aim is to provide an alternative to the traditional HE routes into the sector.

The cultural heritage sector is made up of many interlinking and combined areas of work, cutting across areas such as Libraries, Museums, Archives, the creative industries and tourist services in the UK. Cultural Heritage and the historic environment form an integral part of the make-up of the Welsh economy.

Entry Criteria

Any Level 3 qualifications and an ability to work at Higher Education level.

All places are subject to satisfactory interview.
