About this position
Architectural History and Heritage MA (Hons) is a four-year, full-time undergraduate degree at the Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh. Based at the Lauriston campus, the programme explores how people have imagined, designed and used buildings and places, and how historic environments can be understood in relation to wider social, political and urban history.
The curriculum combines architectural history, fine art, heritage management, urbanism and the cultural history of cities. The first two years provide a broad foundation in the history of architecture across global contexts, alongside introductions to the history of the city, heritage and conservation. Later study becomes more specialised and draws on the expertise of research-active architectural historians.
Students investigate the built environment through standing buildings, architectural plans and drawings, written sources, films and photographs. Teaching includes lectures, seminars, tutorials, projects, study trips and practical experiences. Courses make use of the University’s libraries, archives, special collections and specialist facilities, as well as Edinburgh’s museums, galleries, streets and historic buildings.
The programme offers opportunities for study abroad, heritage-sector placements and fieldwork in Edinburgh and beyond. Students may apply for placements with local heritage organisations, including Historic Environment Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland, developing experience in assessing and managing the historic built environment. In the final year, students complete a 10,000–12,000-word dissertation with staff guidance, developing advanced skills in research, analysis and argument.
The Architectural History team includes Professor Richard Anderson, Professor Alex Bremner, Dr Alistair Fair, John Lowrey and Professor Emeritus Angus Macdonald, whose research covers subjects including Soviet and socialist architecture, nineteenth-century British and imperial architecture, twentieth-century British architecture and planning, Scottish architecture, and architecture and structure.
Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage city provides an extensive setting for studying architecture, conservation and urban history, supported by the resources of the University of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh College of Art.
