About the course
This one year part-time course consists of three taught units and a dissertation. It covers English architectural history from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day. The course is designed to offer a progression from supported learning, with regular essays and feedback in the Historical Studies units, to more independent work in the Site Evaluation Survey Unit and, particularly, the dissertation, and can therefore act as a preparation for progression to a higher academic level, including doctoral work.
Assessment
In addition to the dissertation which is written during unit four, assessment takes place throughout the course. Unit one is assessed by three essays, each of 1,500 words. Assessment of unit two consists of two essays, each of 2,000 words and unit three is assessed via a workbook record of a selected building, to be submitted by mid-May.
Graduate destinations
Upon successful completion of this course, some students have gone on to further graduate study at a master's or doctoral level at Oxford and elsewhere; others find employment with conservation and heritage organisations.
As a minimum, applicants should hold or be predicted to achieve the equivalent of the following UK qualifications or their equivalent: a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours in any subject. Applications are also considered from those who do not have previous higher education. Vocational qualifications equivalent to NVQ level 4 are acceptable substitutes, as is at least three years’ experience in a conservation-related profession. For applicants with a degree from the USA, the minimum GPA normally sought is 3.5 out of 4.0.
