Master of Science - Historic Building Conservation

On this course, students will visit many of London's fascinating historic buildings to illustrate and inform their learning. Past and ongoing works at the Historic Royal Palaces, together with several national and local heritage organisations and practitioners, are used to support their project work.

The course is interdisciplinary and international. Current and former students include archaeologists, architects, architectural technologists, chartered surveyors, craftsmen, engineers, and project and construction managers.

This course offers training and professional development in line with established national and international standards.

Through working with a range of professionals and specialists, students will become familiar with the interdisciplinary nature of the field, ready to extend their current practice and/or gain knowledge and expertise in new areas.

Once students have graduated, and are in suitable employment, they may proceed to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors final assessment programme and/or build towards an application to the Institute of Historic Building Conservation or other professional specialist registers.
