Course description
The Master of Cultural Materials Conservation
offers a professional qualification, combining
both theory and practice, and emphasising
the philosophical, intellectual and scientific
aspects of cultural material conservation.
Students will benefit directly from the Centre’s
activities in commercial conservation services
and its responsibility for conservation of the
University of Melbourne’s vast and varied
cultural collections, including the Ian Potter
Museum of Art, and the University’s Library,
Archives and School collections. Students
will also have access to industry links with
leading museums, galleries, archives and
libraries, across Australia and overseas, with
opportunities to develop research in relation
to broader issues of cultural preservation for
communities and cultures within the Asian-
Pacific region.
The option to specialise in areas including
conservation treatment of paintings,
works on paper, frames, and some object
and architectural conservation, can be
combined with an internship. In consultation
with an academic supervisor, students can
gain unrivalled professional experience
working under the guidance of a senior
conservator within the workplace.
Internship opportunities: students
arrange and undertake a placement in
a conservation department or practice,
which deals directly in the conservation
of materials of their specialisation. They
will work under the guidance of a senior
conservator within the workplace, and carry
out a set program of conservation research
and/or treatment involving complex
decision-making and the application of
high-level skills. During the internship,
an academic supervisor is available for
consultation and advice. Students have the
opportunity to undertake internships across
Australia, and overseas (for example, in the
UK, USA, New Zealand, India, Malaysia,
Greece and East Timor).
Creating a world of career
opportunities
Students who complete the Master of
Cultural Materials Conservation at the
Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation
generally go on to work in museums,
galleries, libraries, archives, archaeological
sites, develop their own business or work in
other specialist areas.
