This Masters program provides students with a professional qualification in cultural material conservation and it combines both the theory and practice of cultural material conservation. The program will emphasise the philosophical, intellectual, technical and scientific aspects of cultural material conservation, and will draw on the combined expertise of staff of the Grimwade Centre, the Arts and Science Faculties, and the University of Melbourne Cultural Collections.
The program is aimed at students who wish to undertake specialist training in conservation of cultural material for professional qualification purposes in GLAM (Galleries, Library, Archives and Museums), Community Conservation, New Media and Research. High achieving students may qualify for entry to research higher degrees.
