The Certificate in Heritage Studies (CHS) affords students an added dimension to their undergraduate degree, exposing them to professional settings and ways of applying historical knowledge through experiential, community-engaged and work-integrated learning. The purpose of the certificate is to provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the heritage sector.

Upon completion, students will benefit from a certificate that will accompany their degree and illustrate their added knowledge, skills, and experience to potential employers and institutions. The Certificate in Heritage Studies is open to all 黑料吃瓜网and King鈥檚 undergraduate students.
