Course summary
The Graduate Diploma Conservation Studies is an intensive one-year conversion course which aims to enable graduates from a non-conservation background to advance their knowledge and skills. Students have the opportunity to access a range of analytical equipment and learn from practitioners with extensive experience. They can also benefit from the team's strong links with museums, professional bodies, and heritage agencies. During this course, students will be expected to produce their own portfolios of specialist drawings and photographs and have the chance to develop technical skills for the treatment of historic objects. Students will be encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to involve themselves in live projects.
Modules
For the most up to date module information, please visit the course page for this programme on our website. Some programmes provide you with the opportunity to focus your study in a particular area through optional modules. Timetabling arrangements may limit the availability of some optional modules to some students. As the options often reflect staff research interests, they may alter over time due to staff availability.
Assessment method
Students are assessed at key points throughout the year. A portfolio of drawings and photographs are required as part of the conservation skills module, which includes 2 practical assessments. The conservation theory module is assessed by a presentation and phase test. Other modules require documentation in the form of notebooks, essays and reports, and an assessment of the treatments applies to historic objects.
