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.
