About the course

This course focuses on the repair, conservation and adaptation of historic buildings and sites, with the primary aims of conserving significance and sustaining active use. You’ll examine the challenges involved in managing historic buildings and look at the role they play in the sustainable revitalisation of our towns and cities. As well as exploring the techniques of conservative repair, adaptation, retro-fitting and extension in depth, you’ll also analyse the legislation involved in the protection of historic sites. You’ll gain an understanding of the challenges heritage experts encounter in finding viable uses for at-risk buildings in ways that are economically, environmentally and socially viable, while managing to conserve what makes them special. This course offers the ideal foundation for a fascinating career working within the heritage sector and the historic built environment. Our industry connections provide you with the opportunity to gain valuable work experience with some of the biggest names in the heritage sector. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
