Bachelor in Conservation (Honours)

This full-time undergraduate course in conservation-restoration studies provides the learner with the opportunity to obtain the fundamental knowledge, skills and competences in conservation-restoration in a particular area of studies on offer. After an initial common year, learners then have the possibility to focus on a specific area. During the three years, which include practice-led formation and internships, the learner appreciates the complex nature of conservation-restoration as an interdisciplinary endeavour in which the conservation-restoration graduate collaborates with other members of a multidisciplinary team under the supervision of a warranted conservator restorer, for the benefit of the heritage. Through the final-year dissertation project of choice the learner has the opportunity to delve into further detail within the area of focus. Learners who successfully complete this programme may enrol in the MCAST Master in Conservation, in partial fulfilment of the requirements to qualify for a warrant to practice according to the Cultural Heritage Act (CAP. 445) of the Laws of Malta
