Northumbria is a research-rich, business-focused, professional university with a global reputation for academic excellence. It is based in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, which is regularly voted the best place in the UK for students. There are two distinct programmes at Northumbria: Conservation of Fine Art and Preventive Conservaiton.
The Conservation of Fine art Programme has two parthways, Works of Art on Paper and Easel Painting. Both specialisms are taught in Burt Hall, a Grade II listed building purposely adapted for conservation training. This historic 1890s building provides well equipped, flexible studios and laboratories for the needs of the graduate. The Preventive programme is taught by distance learning and will immerse you in the world of preventive conservation and collections care by engaging you with the complexities and challenges of professional practice.
