MSc Building Pathology

Moisture, movement, services, and the report a client pays for. Polish housing stock is the main fabric. You do not become a chartered surveyor. The project is a pathology report with a recommendation to open up or not.

MSc Building Pathology is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Moisture through Moisture; Movement; Services; Client report; Opening up; Pathology report, and finish on Pathology report.

Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim.

The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Trace a moisture path Distinguish movement from decoration cracks Read a services defect

Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass.

The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The credit total on this page is the sum of the courses in the curriculum. Assessment is the work named on each course.
