Textile Conservation [MPhil]

If you are looking to enter a career in textile conservation practice in a museum or other institution, or to pursue doctoral-level research in this field, this programme is designed for you. You will take part in a project-based work placement, where you can explore a possible future career while meeting professional practitioners and developing your skills and experience. You will be based in our specialist conservation laboratories. The facilities include workrooms, a wet lab, dye lab, chemistry lab and well-equipped analytical lab. You will benefit from our close links with Glasgow Museums, as well as the University’s own Hunterian Museum. Glasgow’s civic and university collections are some of the richest and most diverse in Europe and are of international standing. You will have the opportunity to draw on the museums’ rich and varied textile collections. This is the only programme of its kind in the UK, and one of only a few specialist textile conservation programmes in the world.
