About

The Conservation of Archaeological and Museum Objects (Diss) course offered by Durham University is particularly appropriate for those seeking a career in conservation research.

Overview

The Conservation of Archaeological and Museum Objects (Diss) course offered by Durham University is intended for those who wish to become conservation scientists or work in the fields of artefact research or preventive conservation. Graduates of the course will normally work in museums or large heritage organisations such the National Trust or English Heritage.

Graduate students are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, but manual dexterity, a very basic knowledge of chemistry and an enthusiasm and desire to work with museum objects are essential.
