Summary
Even the simplest structure encapsulates a huge body of evidence about the past. To protect and steward a building’s heritage requires an understanding of its nature, structure, historic context and significance, the ways in which the building can be legally protected and the conservation tools which are available for its repair and upkeep. It also requires an understanding of how a given structure can be managed for a sustainable future. This includes everything from schemes of interpretation and display, to how visitors can be managed to control potential damage through to how historic buildings can be retrofitted to make them environmentally friendly.
This blending of conservation and management skills lies at the heart of this course and reflects the integrative direction of travel of many historic building professions.
This programme was developed in consultation with heritage building organisations and professionals. You will learn from a range of tutors who have considerable experience of working with historic buildings in both academia and the heritage sector. You will benefit from opportunities to work with heritage organisations and projects, and also gain practical conservation skills through optional short courses with our practical training associates.
Career prospects include:
-
Historic building surveyor (investigation, recording and analysis)
-
Local authority / heritage agency conservation officer
-
Historic building manager
-
Advisor on the interpretation and display of historic buildings
-
Project manager for the development, adaptive reuse and regeneration of historic buildings
