These Professional Preparation Master Studentships are available

awarding both institutions the AHRC recognises that we provide our
postgraduates with a high level of expertise and training to ensure
that the relationship with professional practice is at the heart of
that experience.

Eligibility. Candidates should be completing, or have already
completed, a degree to a high level in Conservation or an allied
field. Full information on AHRC eligibility criteria can be found
in-the-AHRC-Guide-to-Student-Eligibility.
