Heritage thrives at local, national, and global scales, manifesting in diverse forms while making significant contributions to community development, economic growth, cultural evolution, and fostering belonging. This multifaceted concept permeates all areas of human endeavor and invites interdisciplinary exploration. The Professional Doctorate in Heritage (DHeritage) caters to professionals currently engaged in or aspiring to enter the heritage sector, encompassing both private and public domains. The program draws individuals from various fields including urban planning, museum curation, archival work, community history, archaeology, and socio-cultural sustainability.

Participants progress through the program as part of a collaborative group, benefiting from tailored research training and supervision spanning disciplines such as History, Education, Digital Humanities, Creative Writing, Arts, and Law. This distinctive interdisciplinary framework sets the University of Hertfordshire's DHeritage program apart.
