Further elaborating on the student exchange programmes. he added, “We will host students at the University of Birmingham – providing academic and industry-based training in heritage management. We’ll arrange staff exchanges that enable students at Birmingham and the Indian Institute of Heritage (IIH) to be taught by leaders in the field of heritage science and museology, and access significant new research.”

The university highlighted that its International Centre for Heritage (ICH) is a global leader in the adoption of cutting-edge, sustainable approaches for heritage management and future planning.
It further underlined that the postgraduate programs offered by the center equip students with the necessary skills for pursuing careers in heritage, with numerous alumni holding prominent positions in museums and conservation agencies.
Tickell explained that ICH’s postgraduate programs give students the tools they need to pursue professions in heritage.
Through these programmes, students will engage in practice-based learning in the university’s range of heritage sites and museums, including the world-renowned Lapworth Museum and the beautiful Winterbourne House and Gardens.
They will also engage in student experience trips to the university’s regional and national partners – supporting broader perspectives of heritage practice as well as developing their critical awareness of current challenges in the field of heritage and museology.
“Indian Institute of Heritage is stepping towards making its global presence felt in the field of culture and heritage. This collaboration will result in creating informed and efficient heritage professionals and academicians in the future. It will benefit our students and staff,” Mani added.
