Recognized by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), this unique master's program tackles pressing global challenges in the field.
We prioritize sustainability within historical settings, examining it from both technical and strategic perspectives. Leveraging our position as a research hub for sustainable design, the program responds to these issues, which the International Council on Monuments and Sites UK (ICOMOS) has highlighted as crucial for the future of conservation education worldwide.
Available for full-time or part-time study, the program draws students from diverse professional backgrounds who gain from sharing and expanding their knowledge.
Tailored for graduates seeking careers in this field, we welcome those with undergraduate degrees in related disciplines like Engineering, Planning, Architecture, Archaeology, Surveying, or Construction. Professionals with equivalent experience in the building sector or heritage management are also encouraged to apply.
Our alumni come from varied fields including Architecture, Planning, Surveying, Engineering, Project Management, Construction, History, Archaeology, and Fine Art Conservation. Graduates typically work in Local Authorities or Private Practices, with some establishing their own firms as conservation specialists, project managers, or architects. The program also welcomes recent graduates. This mix of skills and experiences among students fuels dynamic discussions, mirroring the multifaceted reality of professional practice in this domain.
