Master of Science - Architectural Conservation

The University of Edinburgh highly regarded Architectural Conservation program is more than 40 years old; it is the longest-established graduate historic preservation program in Scotland or its neighbouring nations. Whether students are approaching the field from an architectural, historical, geological or other viewpoint, this program will guide them through the foundations and challenges of this important means of nurturing cultural and national identity.

Students will benefit from learning in a World Heritage city, and from the wealth of academic and intellectual activities associated with an internationally-renowned university. They will be part of the Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies (SCCS), a specialist teaching and research unit that provides the depth of expertise and resources that ensures this program is recognized by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation.

Volunteering opportunities are normally also available through The University of Edinburgh partnerships with relevant organisations, allowing students to flex their skills in a practical setting.
