Qualifications

Deakin University's Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific (CHCAP) has five academic staff that provide teaching in the Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies program:

• Associate Professor Dr Andrea Witcomb - Director of CHCAP
• Dr Linda Young - Senior Lecturer and Course Director
• Dr Jonathon Sweet
• Dr Steven Cooke
• Ms Kristal Buckley

All teaching staff have post-graduate qualifications in cultural heritage and museum studies and significant teaching experience - the qualifications and areas of expertise of staff can be viewed on the website. The teaching staff also have significant industry experience in their areas of expertise.

CHCAP offers post-graduate courses in cultural heritage and museum studies, as well as Higher Degrees by Research (MA, PhD). Many of the course modules are adaptable to training contexts, and CHCAP can tailor training for client organisations by arrangement. Coursework is provided at the Melbourne campus (Burwood) and on-line. Specialist courses in the field have also been provided, including international field schools and in partnership with overseas institutions. While staff do not generally deliver to exclusive Indigenous groups, this can be considered for tailored or specialist training.
