Overview
The MAArC is distinctively Asian, with the focus on ‘living’ and ‘local’ culture, and urban in its emphasis. Located at the crossroads of East and West, Singapore stands out for its unique urban landscape: historic districts, heritage buildings, and national monuments, which blend seamlessly with modern high-rise buildings.
The survival of these rich and varied historic sites amid Singapore’s rapid development has been only possible due to deliberate, conscious, and integrated urban planning. With the city-state as a springboard providing enriching backdrop, we aim to provide an architectural conservation education that is sensitive to the varied challenges facing historic Asian cities, as well as diverse opportunities provided by the richness of cultural heritage, and socio-economic elements of the region.
Careers
Many MAArC alumni may return to their core disciplines as heritage conservation-trained professionals. A degree from one of the world’s premier school of design and environment, NUS enhances their standing and marketability; the MAArC experience provides them with an enhanced capability to broaden their perspective regarding emerging trends and persistent heritage issues in Asia. With the critical skills and knowledge gained through the programme, they are well placed to excel in heritage conservation or related sectors in the region. Some graduates may segue into research, education, or specialist consulting. Others may continue to pursue PhDs.
Programme Structure
The MAArC offers three streams that focus on the various demands and expertise of the profession:
- policy and management
- design in the historic urban context
- materials and technology
linking them directly to various aspects of heritage conservation in Asian cities. A candidate will have an option to choose one of the three streams as per his/her specialisation.
Internship
The MAArC offers the opportunity to engage students with local and international practices, gaining practical and research experience in heritage conservation, by working as an intern in a private company or public organisation both in Singapore and the region. This practical experience can also be validated as a part of the elective internship module (AC5014). Students can take this module between the two semesters.
