About“Bringing partnership projects to the heart of the student experience”
Plymouth Heritage Praxis is a student-led heritage consultancy with the University of Plymouth. Supported by our expert staff, students from our ground breaking MA Heritage programme work on a range of heritage projects in partnership with cultural institutions, community groups, government, and industry to deliver projects that benefit today's society.
We aim to co-produce projects with partners who are keen to support our students, putting real-world experience at the heart of the student experience. We work with our partners to develop and implement projects that put contemporary thinking into practice at historic sites and museums (such as our work on the hidden heritage of LGBT groups). From new interpretation for exhibitions, events and trails - including graphic design, locative apps, virtual and augmented reality immersive experiences - to archival/field research or audience and stakeholder analysis
Plymouth Heritage Praxis is closely linked to the University of Plymouth's postgraduate programme, MA Heritage Theory and Practice.
