[PADG:1441] UK Foundation Degree (FdA) in Book Conservation

["NPO" <NPO@xxxxx>]

Camberwell College of Art would like to announce the start of the first UK Foundation Degree (FdA) in Book Conservation.  The course, run by Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts, is a new Foundation degree, and will start in October 2007.  The course has been designed by conservation course leaders at Camberwell, in close collaboration with the British Library, and staff from other book conservation departments working in major cultural institutions. Practical book conservation work placements for 2nd year students will be shared amongst the British Library and other institutions with book conservation departments.  Training at the British Library will be provided by experts working in book conservation in the new British Library Centre for Conservation which opens this May.  The course was created to help address the need to increase the number of conservators specialising and working in the field of book conservation.

 

Please see Camberwell College of Arts website for deadlines and application information.
