Course programme
Drawing upon the expertise of an interdisciplinary team, the programme will include taught and research components as well as practical workshops and work placements.
This MLitt develops your skills in object-based research, as well as examining the authenticity, attribution and dating of art works – and their change and survival. You do not need any background in science or conservation. We will provide you with the right tools to understand what science can deliver, what conservators can do, and what role you can play in this truly interdisciplinary field.
You will take five core courses and one optional course. This is followed by a period of self-study towards a dissertation 15,000 words in length (including footnotes but excluding bibliography) and will be on a topic chosen in consultation with the tutors and the programme convenor.
Core courses- Research methods in practice
- Art in the making: historical techniques
- Art in the making: modern and Avant-Garde techniques
- The authentic art work
- Testimonies on painters' practice: documentary and visual sources
You may choose from the following options
- Work placement
- Independent study
