The course will provide you with skills and the academic title necessary to become a professional warranted conservator, capable of critical thinking and able to discuss and fruitfully collaborate with different professionals in the framework of a multidisciplinary team. The course will provide a deeper level of knowledge and critical understanding compared to the Preparatory Programme, as well as finer and more specialised practical skills, necessary to undertake conservation interventions and treatments. By the end of the programme, you will be able to take and implement conservation decisions to the highest level, on a practical and ethical level.
