Course overview
Lincoln's Masters in Conservation of Cultural Heritage is a two year full-time (or four year part-time) programme that offers an entry point to the conservation profession for applicants from a wide range of backgrounds. Students have the opportunity to develop skills and experience in preparation for exciting roles within the conservation profession. 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.
The course covers a wide range of topics, such as remedial treatment, preventive conservation and collections management, and investigative and digital heritage techniques. There may also be opportunities to work with the University's commercial conservation consultancy, Lincoln Conservation. The programme is deliberately accommodating, enabling students to either specialise in a material group, object type, or disciplinary area (during their second year) or to maintain a broader outlook throughout, as their aspirations dictate.
This flexibility aims to enhance future career options and allows students to develop a tailored career path within their studies.
