Overview

This unique MA programme in Buddhist Art History and Conservation is offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art expands the ways in which Buddhist heritage is researched and cared for in order to build new knowledge as well as critical thinking and collaborative skills in the next generation of art historians, conservators, heritage and museum professionals.

Key facts

You’ll gain an understanding of Buddhist heritage — both tangible and intangible — through the study of diverse objects and sites from the Buddhist world, in collections and in situ, spanning wide geographies, cultures, and temporal landscapes. You’ll learn about current topics in the research, preservation, and protection of Buddhist heritage and the economic, socio-political, and environmental contexts in which they exist. Students will also be introduced to the ethical and sustainable challenges of these pursuits from both a theoretical and practical vantage point.
