MA in Conservation of Archaeological & Museum Objects (Diss)

This is a 2 year (full-time) or 3 years (part-time) course, which educates and trains graduate students to be conservators capable of researching, analyzing, cleaning, preserving and caring for a wide range of archaeological and museum objects. This course is particularly appropriate for those seeking a career in conservation research.

It is intended for those who wish to become conservation scientists or work in the fields of artifact research or preventive conservation. Graduates of the course will normally work in museums or large heritage organizations such as the National Trust or English Heritage.

Graduate students are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, but manual dexterity, a very basic knowledge of chemistry and enthusiasm and desire to work with museum objects is essential.
