Opportunities for training and research in conservation.

MA, MPhil and PhD options for the academic year 1996/97

The RCA/ V&A Conservation Course offers a range of specialised
practical conservation and research opportunities at postgraduate
level each year. The options change each year and are announced in a
leaflet produced in November. Rather belatedly, we are taking this
opportunity to advertise the options for next academic year on the
Internet.  Although the official closing date is 24 January 1996,
the College can usually be persuaded to consider applications as
late as mid-February.  Contact us (but promptly) if you would like
further information about Course content, organisation and admission
requirements for any of the options below.
