Lincoln is home to the largest centre for Conservation studies in the UK and, with more than 40 years’ experience, is a leading authority in the field.
The University offers Conservation programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level. These courses link the practical skill of preservation with scientific investigation and analysis. There is an emphasis on gaining hands-on experience in purpose-built laboratories using historical material provided by museums and private collections.
Lincoln Conservation operates as a commercial arm of the University of Lincoln, undertaking a range of heritage and conservation projects, including 3D scanning and digital replication and visualisation, the study, conservation and reinstatement of historical decorative schemes, and the conservation of historic objects. Through Lincoln Conservation we offer short CPD courses to conservators and heritage professionals.
