Historic buildings, cities and landscapes shape how people understand their past and imagine their future. At the UCL Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, our master’s degrees explore how heritage is researched, conserved and managed, bringing together architectural history, heritage science, data science and professional practice.

Our courses teach you how to analyse historic environments, understand cultural significance, use scientific and data-driven methods and develop strategies that protect and sustain heritage in a changing world. You gain skills suited to roles in heritage research, conservation, management, consultancy and cultural institutions.
