This exciting two-year MSc Conservation of Contemporary Art and Media offers a unique opportunity to undertake vocational training in the conservation of contemporary sculpture, installation, and time-based art and design media works, including conceptual, digital, socially engaged, performance-based and mixed media works. While ensuring that students are engaged with the critical debates around contemporary art and design conservation and stewardship, the programme is grounded in hands-on training for real-world situations. The programme will produce contemporary art conservators ready to address the challenges of caring for the art of our time within a rapidly changing world. The degree focuses on conserving contemporary sculpture, installation, time-based art and design media works, including conceptual, performance, digital and mixed media works. The programme's content will reflect current debates impacting how we conserve, steward and care for contemporary art, design and media, thinking about the values and histories underpinning conservation practice and urgent challenges facing the sector more broadly. This thinking underpins a programme fundamentally grounded in hands-on training for real-world situations.
