Art Conservation Program at Queen's University

The Art Conservation Program at Queen's University is now accepting
applications for September 2006.  We are particularly interested in
receiving applications for our two research programs--the MAC
(Research) degree and our Master's level program in Conservation
Science.  Details of both programs are outlined below.

Conservation Science Degree

    This two-year program is open to science and engineering
    graduates wishing to carry out research in conservation science.
    Students are required to complete a program of study consisting
    of four advanced lecture courses along with original research
    and a thesis, with no practical treatment component.   Research
    topics will be individually designed to suit the background and
    interests of the individual student. Application deadline for
    the next academic year is January 31, 2006.

MAC (Research) Degree

    Professionals who have worked in the conservation field for a
    minimum of five years are invited to apply for admission to the
    MAC (Research) program.  Areas of specialization include the
    conservation of artifacts, paintings, and paper.  In response to
    the need for mid-career training, this degree path is suitable
    for busy professionals with limited time for further studies.
    Students are required to complete a program of study consisting
    of four advanced lecture courses along with original research
    and a thesis, with no practical treatment component. Normally,
    the course work and research is completed during an initial
    eight to twelve month on-campus residency period; the thesis may
    be completed after students return to their place of employment.
    Specific requirements for admission include a four-year
    undergraduate degree and chemistry courses. Applicants should
    specify their research interest. Application deadline for the
    next academic year is January 31, 2006.
