Course Description

As a student you will be encouraged to take a long view of conservation and heritage management. You will learn about concepts of value, sustainability, life expectancy, stewardship, ownership, vulnerability and risk. These concepts will be interwoven with the scientific study of historic materials, assemblies, technologies and systems. You will be challenged to define problems, set objectives, and explore a range of sustainability issues and strategies when approaching heritage projects.
