MA CONSERVATION
CAMBERWELL COLLEGE Of ARTS
MArK SANDY, COUrSE DirECtOr: ‘This course,
building on 40 years of experience at Camberwell,
will teach you specialist skills and knowledge
and prepare you to work within specific fields of
the conservation world.’
COUrSE CONtENt Conservators are skilled
professionals who undertake a wide range of activities
including developing preservation strategies,
undertaking interventive conservation of
cultural artefacts (such as repair or chemical
treatments), liaising with other museum professionals
and being advocates for conservation to
the wider community. Camberwell’s new 2 Year
MA Conservation course will offer students the
chance to focus on one of 2 pathways:
> MA CONSERVATION: ART ON PAPER This pathway
will focus on the analysis, conservation and
preservation management of images executed
on paper covering a wide range of materials
including prints, drawings and watercolours,
with an emphasis on both conservation practice
and theory.
> MA CONSERVATION: BOOKS AND ARCHIVAL
MATERIALS This pathway will cover the broad
international and historical spectrum of
book binding and book structures. Studio practice
will include preservation management
as well as related conservation techniques and
related theory. The strong connections with
industry partners and the Ligatus research centre
will support your Personal and Professional
51
Devel opment (PPD). This combination of
path ways builds on areas of research and practice
already established at Camberwell, and
responds to developing industry requirements.
The course will feature specialist taught
elements for the two pathways running alongside
a common taught programme and key
work shops. This will allow for both the degree
of specialization required in this subject
at post graduate level and a fruitful interaction
between students with opportunities for
peer learning and an expanded critical discourse.
The course culminates in the completion
of an individual conservation project.
KEY FACtS The course has strong links with
external partners both in the London area
and further afield. These links facilitate project
sourcing and voluntary activities for students.
Students will have the opportunity to work with
the ‘Camberwell Collection’ archive and other
archives within the UAL. This will provide the
opportunity for a range of specialist projects and
direct engagement with issues involving the care
and use of collections. Students will have access
to Camberwell’s technical resource centres alongside
the specialist conservation studios and
conservation science laboratory.
NExt StEPS Graduates can progress into
employment within the conservation profession
or funded internships. Graduates are employed
as conservators in many institutions including the
National Archives, the British Museum, the
British Library, the V&A, the Bodleian Library and
various county and regional archives. Grad-
uates have also gone on to careers in other sectors
of the heritage industry.
