Careers in Heritage Science: Opportunities and constraints
Careers in Heritage Science: Opportunities and constraints
This report commissioned by NHSF outlines the motivations behind applying for heritage science courses; whether postgraduates consider themselves to be heritage scientists; what their future goals and aspirations are; and their career pathways
This report outlines the findings of research, commissioned by the National Heritage Science Forum (NHSF), into who applies for UK postgraduate courses that are either focused on or include an element of heritage science, what their motivations and aspirations are, and whether postgraduates consider themselves to be heritage scientists. The report looks at the career pathways of heritage science graduates. It also outlines training providers’ and employers’ perspectives on heritage science, and their experiences of recruiting for roles and opportunities. Research into the challenges and opportunities encountered by heritage science students and alumni, and the views of training providers and employers on the external context in which heritage operates, builds a picture of the opportunities and constraints for those embarking on a career in heritage science.
