This program explores how people have designed, imagined, and used buildings and places throughout history. It examines how these historical sites can be understood today and what they reveal about broader social, political, and urban historical themes. The curriculum offers a wide-ranging study of the historic built environment, integrating architectural history, fine art, and heritage management within the context of urbanism and the cultural history of cities, while also addressing contemporary architectural heritage issues. This MA (Hons) in Architectural History and Heritage is unique in the UK at the undergraduate level, focusing specifically on this subject. It is delivered by specialist, research-active staff in a small, diverse, and welcoming program.
Careers
Graduates develop essential skills in independent research, writing, and presentation, applicable to a wide array of career paths. While some pursue roles directly related to architectural conservation, heritage, or property development, others transition into design and planning. The program's transferable skills also open doors to careers with little direct connection to architectural history.
