UCL Centre for Sustainable Heritage is offering a scholarship,
funded by Historic Royal Palaces, which is open to students accepted
onto the MRes in Heritage Science.  The scholarship covers the
course fees for a UK/EU student and a stipend of UKP10,000 a year
for living expenses.  Over the two-year period of the course, the
successful applicant will spend eight months at UCL, studying
towards the MRes Heritage Science degree and 16 months at Hampton
Court Palace carrying out scientific research to support the HRP
conservation research project on the environmental protection of the
Tudor tapestries in the Great Hall and Great Watching Chamber at
Hampton Court Palace.

Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after
the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House,
Kensington Palace and Kew Palace. The Conservation and Collection
Care department, through the conservation of the artefacts and
palaces in our care, help tell the stories of the five sites to more
than three million visitors every year.

The MRes Heritage Science at UCL Centre for Sustainable Heritage is
an interdisciplinary programme that takes an innovative approach to
the teaching of 'hard' science subjects by taking cultural heritage
as its context. For more information please see
