Master of Cultural Materials Conservation (MC-CULMC)

Our Masters program provides students with a professional qualification in cultural materials conservation and combines interdisciplinary knowledge, practices and processes. The program emphasises the philosophical, theoretical, social, sustainable and technical domains of cultural material conservation within situated contexts. We draw on the combined expertise of staff of the Grimwade Centre, the Arts and Science Faculties, the University of Melbourne Cultural Collections and partnerships.

The program is aimed at students who wish to undertake interdisciplinary training in contemporary conservation practice in the GLAM sector (Galleries, Library, Archives and Museums), Community Conservation, and/or Research. High-achieving students may qualify for entry to research higher degrees.

It is strongly recommended that all commencing students have studied chemistry equivalent to 25 points of first year university or else complete the Grimwade Centre bridging course offered in December and March, or equivalent.
