Summary

What is the value of the historic environment in the face of social, economic and environmental change? How can we balance its role in cultural memory and identity and as an embodied and learning resource? Join students from a diverse range of backgrounds to explore the evolving debates and delve into the multi-disciplinary field of Historic Conservation.

You'll build up a strong foundation in architectural history, the theory of historic conservation, traditional construction and materials as well as building analysis and recording. From there, you'll explore making reasoned judgements on the design and economics of schemes for repair, restoration, adaptive reuse, and regeneration all with an eye for decarbonisation and resource efficiency.

Benefiting from the contribution of a wide range of practitioners from the heritage sector, the programme combines theoretical debates, hands-on practical workshops, field trips and independent study. The experience will help to expand your network and develop the professional skills to set you on course for employment in the sector.
