University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education
From 9 October 2017
This two-year, part-time course offers an introduction to the philosophy and practice of historic building conservation with an emphasis on developing an understanding of the traditional crafts involved. It takes place at Madingley Hall [pictured], a 16th-century manor house set in eight acres of landscaped gardens designed by Capability Brown and is taught through classroom-based lectures and discussion, as well as site visits and field trips across East Anglia to view buildings and practitioners at work. This is a University of Cambridge qualification, awarding 120 credits at first-year undergraduate level (FHEQ4) in the Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS). No prior formal qualifications are needed.
