The MA in Heritage Management based in Athens and run by the Department of Classical and Archaeological Studies in partnership with the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB), has been ranked the eighth best masters in the Eduniversal best masters ranking 2015/16 in the field of Arts and Cultural Management, with no other MA specialising in heritage above it.

The Eduniversal Best Masters Ranking is an assessment of global masters and MBA programs designed to help prospective students determine the best choice for their graduate studies. It is the only ranking that evaluates individual masters programs worldwide in 30 fields of study.

The MA in Heritage Management is a collaborative dual award from the University of Kent and the AUEB and is overseen by the Initiative for Heritage Conservancy, a dynamic new research and education project with international funding. The programme combines the worlds of archaeology and business and is taught by staff from the Department of Classical & Archaeological Studies and the AUEB, at a centre in Eleusina, an Athenian suburb. It focuses on teaching the skills required for the management of heritage sites across the world and how to work effectively with archaeologists, architects, conservators, marketing and education specialists while also fundraising and supervising specific projects.

Full details of the MA in heritage Management are available at http://www.heritage.aueb.gr/

Final year Business Information Technology student, Michael Ikeji, has been featured in Brakes people magazine as the first information services student intern. Michael worked in the food distribution company between his second and final year at university and quickly outgrew the plans that his team had for him and had to find more things for him to take on.

Michael said; ‘This was a very valuable experience as personally it helped me become a more confident, independent and hardworking individual. One of the best things about the Brakes Intern Programme is that everything you learn can be used in your final year. It’s an experience that I recommend every student should take part in because it does change you for the better.’

Business Partner and Strategy Director Larry Tampkins said; ‘By working with the University of Kent, it enhances our links with the local community as well as bringing in additional resource to the organisation at a relatively low cost. From the student’s perspective, they get to work in a forward-thinking organisation in a period of really dynamic change; something they may not otherwise experience until much later in their career.’
