Course summary

Explore your passion for the heritage of historic buildings and sites and uncover the stories behind their structures with our MA Architecture: Building and Heritage Conservation Master's. Accredited by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), this course encourages you to engage creatively, theoretically, and research-wise with historic buildings and sites and explore conservation design on a conceptual and practical level. These methods will help deepen your understanding of the heritage and conservation process, especially the tangible and intangible factors that encompass our historic, contemporary, cultural, and social values. Our team of heritage and conservation experts will support you in sharpening your skills and bolstering your professional practice. Through your explorations, you'll investigate the importance of retaining our heritage buildings and sites, the financial constraints and consequences of doing so, and the most effective management and restoration methods. Work with the interior, architecture, and urban scales and their interconnections, examine different historic and contemporary heritage buildings and sites to relate conservation thinking with various real-life challenges, and test out new technologies. You can also gain professional, legal, management, and administrative expertise. When you complete our MA Architecture: Historic Building and Conservation Master's course, you'll have all the tools you need to pursue a career in the conservation of historic buildings and sites.
