Because of the multidisciplinary nature of conservation, the postgraduate course in the field of conservation of decorative architectural surfaces is the ideal opportunity for preparing professionals within the conservation and management of cultural heritage.
The aim of the M.Sc. in Conservation of Decorative Architectural Surfaces provides students with the skills required for the conservation of wall paintings and decorative stone, a field which combines disciplines such as materials science, art history and heritage management with emerging technologies and practical work. This postgraduate course is likely to be ideal for enthusiastic graduates in archaeology, history of art, chemistry, biology, physics, architecture, engineering, or other related fields, wishing to specialise in conservation and to make it their career.
The Preparatory Programme opening in October 2018 is designed specifically to prepare students with no background in conservation to enter the M.Sc. programme in 2019. The two-year M.Sc. focuses on the conservation of wall paintings and stone. The programme contains an equal balance of theoretical and practical subjects, which is carried out throughout the academic years and during summer placements.
