Degree program in book conservation

Camberwell College of Art would like to announce the start of the
first UK Foundation Degree (FdA) in Book Conservation.  The course,
run by Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts, is a new
Foundation degree, and will start in October 2007.  The course has
been designed by conservation course leaders at Camberwell, in close
collaboration with the British Library, and staff from other book
conservation departments working in major cultural institutions.
Practical book conservation work placements for second year students
will be shared amongst the British Library and other institutions
with book conservation departments. Training at the British Library
will be provided by experts working in book conservation in the new
British Library Centre for Conservation which opens this May.  The
course was created to help address the need to increase the number
of conservators specialising and working in the field of book
conservation.

Please see Camberwell College of Arts website for deadlines and
application information.
