Architectural History and Heritage enables you to explore wider social, cultural, and political themes.

It places the history of architecture, fine art, and heritage management within the context of urbanism and the cultural history of cities.

Your teaching will draw on the extraordinarily rich urban context of Edinburgh itself, as well as the architectural heritage of Europe and beyond.

With its unique concentration of professional architectural historians, Edinburgh offers an unrivalled breadth of study in the historic built environment.

Our staff specialise in a wide range of topics, spanning periods between:

ancient and medieval
early and late modern
the twentieth century
