Conservation of Historic Gardens and Cultural Landscapes 
Master of Science degree/diploma programme 

I am pleased to let you know about the new master's degree/diploma course in
the Conservation of Historic Gardens and Cultural Landscapes which will
commence in October 2007 at the University of Bath. 

A postgraduate programme open to surveyors, architects, landscape
architects, archaeologists, horticulturists, land managers and suitably
qualified candidates from other fields including conservationists, planners,
geographers, engineers, and historians with a first degree or equivalent
professional qualification or relevant experience. The programme is also
available to graduates in other fields who wish to gain a vocational degree,
perhaps as a basis for a career move.

The programme is intended to take students from a range of backgrounds and
provide them with analytical and practical skills and a thorough grounding
in the history, theory and practice of garden and cultural landscape
conservation and management, covering both designed and evolving organic
landscapes, complex cultural landscapes and large landscape zones. 

The training will be sufficient for graduates to act as managers,
conservation officers and consultants in the field. The course may be taken
over two years part-time or one year full-time. This requires attendance at
the university either one day or two days per week over two semesters. Each
semester contains eleven weeks of teaching, so the commitment for attending
the lectures, seminars and visits by the part-time route is just 22 days
over the year or 44 days full-time. The course is taught by practising
professionals and leading academics. 

There are still a few vacancies available for 2007/08, commencing in October
2007. See http://www.bath.ac.uk/ace/courses/index.html

& Civil Engineering for outstanding overseas students in 2007/08.The
scholarships are worth £3,000 each, offset against the one - year overseas
fee. In order to be considered we would need to have received your
application for the programme by 25th May 2007.
