MA Conservation of Cultural Heritage
Lincoln’s MA Conservation of Cultural Heritage enables students to gain hands-on experience while being taught by experts in the field. They are able to develop a wide range of advanced conservation skills in preparation for a career in the heritage sector.
The city of Lincoln is bursting with history and the city’s rich cultural heritage makes it an ideal location in which to study conservation. Students have access to a wide variety of historic materials and can choose to focus on remedial treatment, preventive conservation, or collections management. There may also be opportunities to work with the University's commercial consultancy, Lincoln Conservation.
For those already working in conservation, a blended learning option allows submission of practical projects derived from your current place of employment. MA students on this programme may have the chance to join an optional international study visit. In the past these have included trips to Berlin, Athens, Amsterdam, and Florence.
Graduates have gained employment as conservators in museums, galleries, historic houses, and conservation agencies, nationally and internationally. Internships have included roles in natural history at the Horniman Museum, mechanical objects at Edinburgh Museum, and textile conservation for the National Trust at Blickling.
