Conservation students gain hands-on experience working on unique and
often rare objects from acclaimed collections.  Many graduates go on
to work in some of the world's finest institutions, such as the
Victoria and Albert Museum, National Maritime Museum, The British
Museum and Imperial War Museum, or establish their own conservation
practice.

In recognition of the increasing difficulties in funding for
postgraduate education West Dean College offers a wide range of
bursaries and scholarships for talented students who would not
otherwise be able to study at West Dean College.
