ARCH40970 Project (World Heritage Conservation)

Academic Year 2022/2023

This module will develop skills in research and scientific writing through investigation of a selected heritage theme. The aim of this project is to enhance the students’ ability to formulate a research question, apply an appropriate research methodology and demonstrate evidence of sustained analysis and critical engagement with a heritage conservation topic of choice. These skills are essential in addressing conservation and management challenges in a professional capacity and enable participants to take the initiative in designing and implementing possible projects in their professional roles. The module also provides an opportunity to acquire in-depth knowledge in a specific area of interest.
