This Occupational Track (Minor) prepares students to engage with heritage as a dynamic field of study and practice. Moving beyond monuments and museums, the programme recognises heritage as something continuously created, interpreted, documented, and sustained through communities, institutions, and public engagement.

Students explore diverse forms of heritage in India and beyond, including cultural traditions, neighbourhood histories, archives, scientific collections, technological knowledge, landscapes, and digital records. The track combines perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, and sciences to help students understand how heritage is shaped by history, ethics, policy, and everyday practice.

Through a strongly applied learning model, students develop practical skills in documentation, conservation awareness, interpretation, digital workflows, and public engagement. They learn to work responsibly with communities and institutions while addressing questions of access, representation, consent, and sustainability.

The programme culminates in a capstone project and portfolio that prepare students for internships, further study, and early-career roles in museums, archives, cultural organisations, community initiatives, and heritage-related sectors.
