The Department of Conservation is a dedicated centre for training and research in the
conservation of art and cultural heritage. The academic programmes offered by the
department are aimed to provide students with the in-depth technical knowledge and skills
in conservation of cultural property. Besides that students are also encouraged to develop
understanding of aesthetic, historic and socio-cultural context in conservation of art and
cultural heritage.
A diverse community of scholars, researchers and practitioners in the field of conservation
and related disciplines, well recognised in their respective fields, are regularly invited by the
department as guest faculty. This creates a vibrant environment and students get the
opportunity to interact and learn from highly experienced professionals and researchers. |
