Correct to 16 November 2020 the material offered in this Study has been directly sourced, as a desk exercise, from the online web-sites of numerous institutes’ in the UK and Republic of Ireland that indicated their delivery of Heritage orientated courses.

The listed information is presented by University location, Award Level, Course Title, if the material is presented as a Module, and which organisation offers their accredited recognition, together with the reference url from where the information was obtained.

At a time when considerable uncertainty exists as to how higher education might be delivered in the future due to the 2020 Covid pandemic, this Study is also intended to provide a baseline against which any future changes might be measured and assessed.

Here, it is anticipated, COTAC will aim to present up-to-date information as and when that might be released by the various providers.
