What it isYou study how to repair, restore, and upgrade old buildings while making them environmentally sustainable. This program combines architecture, engineering, and environmental science — it's more specialized than a general architecture or engineering degree because it focuses specifically on conserving heritage structures and reducing their environmental impact. It suits people who care about preserving historic buildings and solving practical problems with green technology.Humanities I is your first year of study in the liberal arts, where you explore human culture, language, history, and society through subjects like English, history, drama, and linguistics. You take a range of courses across these fields to discover what interests you before specializing in a particular discipline in later years. This suits students who are curious about how people think, communicate, and organize themselves, but aren't yet certain which humanities subject to focus on.
