Program details
Overview
This research master's in Conservation draws on the full range of departments within the Faculty for the Built Environment, so a project can be shaped around built heritage, conservation science, urban design, or other related interdisciplinary themes, depending on where supervision and resources are available.
Rather than a fixed curriculum, the degree centres on an individual research project carried out under academic guidance, giving scope to investigate a specific conservation-related question in depth and to develop the methodological skills that go with original research in this field.
Studied part-time during the day over five semesters for 90 ECTS credits at master's level, the degree is not aimed at a specific professional career path outside academia, but it opens the way to further research study at the University of Malta or at institutions abroad.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: UM applies course-specific entry requirements under its regulations and bye-laws. Local applicants are assessed on qualifications such as the Matriculation Certificate, International Baccalaureate, or European Baccalaureate; international applicants hold overseas qualifications evaluated individually for comparability with UM's standards, with no extra requirements beyond the course's own criteria. MATSEC-qualification applicants must apply as soon as they receive their first result slip after the May/June session; students sitting September resits should apply by the course's first deadline rather than waiting on resit results. After evaluation, the Office of the Registrar issues a decision letter. Admission may also be granted via Recognition and Accreditation of Prior Learning (RPL) for undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses.
