Manchester - MA Heritage Studies vs MA Art Gallery and Museum Studies

Watching this because I’m also in the same boat.
My concern was that the museum studies course would be focused solely on typical museums and galleries and wouldn’t explore heritage sites like historic houses. I liked the sound of the course for its practicality but I want to keep my options open to careers in a variety of types of museums and heritage sites. And the Heritage studies course sounds more broad.
I ended up emailing the course leader recently and he told me that the museum course wouldn’t prevent me from exploring heritage sites, similarly the heritage course wouldn’t stop me from exploring museum practice.
I don’t know if this helps you at all but I thought I’d mention it since no one else has replied.
I think I’m going with the museum course because imo the info about the heritage studies course on the website is kinda vague about how practical it actually is.

Thanks for replying - good to know someone else is out there in a similar situation!
That's reassuring to hear neither of them would be limiting.
I've ended up sending applications in for both of them, but I think I'm leaning towards the museum studies. As you said the heritage studies sound kinda vague and abstract whereas the museum studies seems more hands-on so I feel more attracted to that.

I’ve ended up applying for both too! Am still leaning towards museum studies though, hoping to do it part time starting either this September or next.

Hi, I am in a similar situation and was wondering if you had any more thoughts if you did end up starting the course?
