Overview

The Historic Conservation programme at the Oxford Brookes University puts you at the centre of historic conservation practice.

Quick Facts:

Throughout this course you’ll think critically about the role of conservation, why it's important and how we might improve current practices for a sustainable future.
You’ll study the theories, law and history of historic conservation, gaining an understanding of the cultural and political forces that have shaped it, and the debates that animate it today.
You’ll gain hands-on, practical insights into construction and repair techniques, helping you to understand how historic buildings can be sustained. You’ll develop skills in analysis and recording, and learn how good design can help secure the future of historic areas. You’ll also gain an understanding of conservation economics and the effect of heritage protection on costs and values, assessing viability and finding sources of funding.
For the full MSc award, you’ll undertake a capstone project on a conservation topic of your choice, using independent research and tutorials to develop your own area of expertise within the field.
