The Master of Cultural Materials Conservation is a professional qualification 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. It combines interdisciplinary knowledge, practices and processes, drawing on the combined expertise of staff of the Grimwade Centre, the Arts and Science Faculties, the University of Melbourne Cultural Collections and Industry partners. The program emphasises the philosophical, theoretical, social, sustainable and technical domains of cultural material conservation within situated contexts.
High-achieving graduates 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 study; alternatively they should complete the Grimwade Centre bridging course offered in December and March, or equivalent.
