Summary
**Would you like to apply your arts or applied sciences background to the conservation of fine art?**
Northumbria University’s MA Conservation of Fine Art course is the only Master of Arts course in the UK that specialises in the conservation of easel painting and works of art on paper.
Integrating a mix of fine art, science and forensic techniques, you will study a range of subjects including studio and work-based practice, conservation theory, science, technical examination, -preventive conservation and research training skills.
In addition to the core modules studied, you will have the option to undertake a work placement during years one and two in the UK or abroad.
