Summary
The Architecture and Sustainable Heritage MA offers a distinctive programme for those interested in studying the historic built environment. The course provides a unique platform for students to advance careers in heritage practice or engage in specialised research.
Blending practice and theory, the Architecture and Sustainable Heritage MA focuses on collaborative interdisciplinary approaches, active learning, and skill acquisition. With an emphasis on employability, live case studies, and authentic assessment, this course has been designed to nurture a new generation of built-environment heritage professionals.
Throughout the course, you’ll examine the adaptive reuse and retrofit of historic buildings, alongside issues of community engagement and inclusive heritage management. These topics will be explored within the core modules in the context of economics, legislation, and policy. You’ll be prepared to tackle current challenges posed by climate change, the drive to build sustainable communities, urban regeneration, and digital technology.
The Architecture and Sustainable Heritage MA is also designed to give you the flexibility to choose optional modules that align with your learning style and career goals. Optional modules are grouped within three thematic clusters: Evaluation, Management and Intervention and you can select modules from across the pathways. This approach will enrich discussions and foster opportunities for collaboration.
The opportunity to gain insights into architectural and built-environment heritage is central to this course and can be applied when selecting case studies and research methods for your final dissertation. The course aims to empower you to become self-reliant and self-developing, enhancing your career prospects and employability.
