Course summary

This Postgraduate Certificate in Historic Building Studies enables students to embark on the first steps of an RAU MSc or PGDip without committing to a particular sector. Completion of the Postgraduate Certificate in Historic Building Studies enables students to progress to MSc Conservation and Management of Historic Buildings, or to exit with the Certificate.

If you are interested in studying for an MSc but cannot commit to the full MSc programme then studying for a Certificate (PgCert) may be the route for you. It is designed to give learners a broad and thorough grounding in historic buildings before specialising in a particular sector.

It can be a great way to boost your career or enter a new industry, but if you desire to continue your studies PgCert credits can be used to contribute towards a PgDip or even an MSc qualification later down the line. Completing studies using this route is often likened to building blocks – one step at a time – the first step being a PgCert.
