Historic Building Conservation FdSc
The Historic Building Conservation course is an integrated two-year foundation degree and a one-year BSc (Hons) top-up degree for those who have successfully completed the foundation degree and wish to supplement their studies.
The first two years of the course are taken at the Building Crafts College at Stratford in East London. The college provides a range of craft programmes, and opportunities exist for supplementary study on their evening programmes. Sited close to a major transport hub, it provides excellent access to all parts of the UK and Europe.
The foundation degree combines academic elements and project work. It is particularly suited to those already working at a craft level within historic building conservation. Applicants from a non-craft-based level background are also welcome, and will develop conservation skills through the course. The final Elective Project offers the opportunity to undertake a practical project using craft skills.
The BSc (Hons) top-up year is taught at Kingston University's Department of Architecture and Landscape at Knights Park campus. You will be part of its exciting and vibrant atmosphere, and be supported by state of the art workshops and resources, as well as having access to the library and workshop resources. The top-up can be taken part time over two years or full time in one year, and includes academic and project-based modules.
You will develop important interdisciplinary skills and extend your knowledge of the historic built environment. Study visits are key to this programme. You will learn to make presentations, work in teams, write reports, debate current topics, and apply IT. You will also learn how to initiate and execute simple research projects. The course culminates in an independent research project.
