Established 25 years ago as a pioneering partnership between Oxford’s two universities, it has educated an entire generation of conservation professionals, and retains a unique reputation across the sector today. Students come from a wide variety of backgrounds including architecture, surveying, urban planning, history and geography. Graduates have gone on to work in all parts of the historic environment sector, including at English Heritage, Historic England, the National Trust, the Heritage Lottery Fund and a range of private sector organisations, local authorities and other conservation bodies. The programme covers the basic knowledge and skills required for a career in the historic built environment, from architectural history and planning law to urban design, conservation economics and the techniques of construction and repair. High academic standards are combined with hands-on engagement: students have the chance to visit on-site conservation projects across the UK and try their hand at a range of traditional building crafts. The course is taught jointly by the Oxford Brookes School of the Built Environment and Oxford University’s Department of Continuing Education, and is accredited by the RICS, RTPI and IHBC.
