"I chose this MSc because of it's focus on design. Unlike many other conservation courses, this one included a Conservation Design Project. As I progress on my journey to become a chartered architect, this design project would be an invaluable addition to my portfolio. It has allowed me to grapple with Scottish planning and heritage legislation as well as building regulations. It has also allowed me to practically implement all the conservation philosophy and theory that we learnt in the first part of the course."
