Heritage is not only the study of the past but an exploration of how the present can shape inclusive futures. Future Heritage is a speculative programme that applies Design Innovation principles to challenge hierarchies, reframe narratives, and uncover lost voices. Students collaborate with diverse human and more-than-human stakeholders to connect theory with practice, addressing real-world issues grounded in place yet responsive to global challenges. Based in the Scottish Highlands, the course explores themes like sustainability, collective memory, and cultural identity. Graduates pursue roles in cultural regeneration, digital heritage, community engagement, and research across heritage, design, and public-sector organisations.
