Research Degrees in Art Conservation at Queen's University

The Art Conservation Program at Queen's University is seeking
applications for our two research-based graduate programs--the
Master's degree in Conservation Science and the mid-career MAC
Research degree, as outlined below.

Conservation Science Degree--This two-year program is appropriate
for science and engineering graduates who are interested in carrying
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
conservation treatment component. Research topics will be tailored
to suit the background and interests of the individual student.
Applications are still being accepted for September 2013. The
application deadline for the next academic year (September 2014) is
January 31, 2014.

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 conservation treatment component.
Normally, course work and research are completed during an initial
eight to twelve month residency period on campus; 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, 2014.
