Conservation Studies CPD Courses

With an outstanding international reputation, the Centre for Conservation Studies provides education, training and guidance in the conservation of cultural heritage to students and professionals around the world.

As part of the core teaching of the MA in Conservation Studies (Historic Buildings), the Centre also offers a series of short courses that are open to the public. These courses are specially designed to satisy the learning outcomes for our students on the course, and also contribute towards continuing professional development for professionals in the field. They cover a wide range of themes and materials that are at the core of the debates and approaches to the conservation of historic buildings in particular, and a wider historic context in general.

The open short courses at York will update your professional skills, particularly in the areas of conservation and heritage management. All courses are based in the historic King's Manor, and training is provided by the Department's enviable team of specialists in one of the leading centres for research and teaching in the UK.

"The structure of the course is excellent, as it is the result of a long experience of the MA course, with external contributors and hands-on experience that cover all aspects of the (subject) matter. The course was good value for money."
