MA program at Courtauld Institute of Art

Applications are now open for the MA in Conservation of Wall
Painting at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, 2016-2019.

The Courtauld is one of the leading centres in the world for
education and research in wall painting conservation.  The
three-year full-time MA programme seeks to provide the student with
a strong foundation in all aspects of wall painting conservation
through formal courses, closely supervised fieldwork, and research.

Governed by the philosophy of minimal intervention and an
interdisciplinary approach, the education aims to impart a
methodology that emphasises investigation and analysis of component
materials and techniques, and diagnosis and control of the causes of
deterioration.  This aids design of a preventive, passive or
remedial conservation strategy that is in line with accepted
professional practice, and respects the integrity and significance
of the object and its context.

On graduation, students join a long list of Courtauld alumni who
have gone on to have a major impact in the conservation of wall
paintings and other aspects of cultural heritage across the world by
working for heritage organisations, universities and in private
roles.

About eight students are accepted on each course and applicants from
different academic and geographical backgrounds are encouraged to
apply.  Previous experience in the field is not required.

Applications are due 15 January 2016.
