Contents
The MA offers you the opportunity to focus on a self-managed programme of work, encompassing conservation practice, scientific research, museological investigation and art historical / bibliographical investigation. These subject areas are supported by specialist classes in studio and laboratory techniques.
You are expected to be highly motivated and able to pursue a largely self-managed programme of study. You should be well grounded in relevant aspects of conservation and be able to define and debate your study proposals. Individual programmes are negotiated and supervised throughout the course in tutorials with specialist academic staff.
During the final development and completion of your personal programme attention is given to personal focus, artistic direction and application. The final work is presented in the form of a public exhibition at the College.
Studies are complemented by lectures, seminars and workshops designed to help you develop wider contextual understanding, research skills and awareness of professional issues.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
