MA International Conservation Studies

You'll learn essential disciplinary knowledge and advanced scholarship techniques with the opportunity to gain experience in sustainable building conservation practices. You will engage with practical and professional issues in a series of focused modules considering both ‘why’ and ‘how’ in conservation. You will also choose options from an exciting range of related disciplines and develop your own experience, while benefiting from the knowledge of our experienced researchers and practitioners.

A core placement module will enhance and focus your experience and you will develop your research skills in an original, independently conducted research project.

Established in 1972 and drawing on our wide range of department expertise, international work and partnerships the MA International Conservation Studies is particularly suitable if you are interested in a broader interdisciplinary approach to conservation, sustainable heritage and international conservation work.
