Master of Heritage Conservation
The program's primary aim is to develop skills in the assessment, interpretation, management, formulation of policy and documentation of culturally significant places, including buildings, sites and cultural landscapes. Secondary aims include the analysis of pressures for change and the promotion of cross-cultural study. The program emphasises the importance of management issues and a practical understanding of mechanisms of statutory authorities, both local and international, which affect conservation and development. A professional placement provides a link between the academic core of the program and the discipline and methods of practice.
