Overview

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.

Key facts

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 Building Conservation and Adaptation course from The University of Lancashire offers the ideal foundation for a fascinating career working within the heritage sector and the historic built environment.
This course has been running for over two decades and has a successful track record of equipping students with the skills and experience they need to forge successful careers working within the heritage sector and the historic built environment.
Working with historic buildings and sites requires particular expertise and an understanding of the principles and philosophies that underpin the global drive to conserving our shared heritage. Developing such an expertise requires academic and practical experience, and these needs define the overarching aim of the course.

Accreditation

This course has been accredited by the RICS, the globally recognised professional body which promotes the highest international standards in land, real estate, construction and infrastructure. The course is professionally accredited and recognised by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation – the UK's leading body for building conservation practitioners and historic environment experts.
