Master of Conservation of Monuments and Sites

Master of Conservation of Monuments and Sites (MCMS)

The MCMS is a four-semester, research based academic degree, spread over 2 years. The first academic year consist of theoretical courses, seminars and project work. The second year consists mainly of the master's thesis, i.e. individual research work in the field of conservation, supported by an ad hoc study programme. The programme is developed and continuously updated in close collaboration with international organisations, such as the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, the World Monument Fund, the Getty Conservation Institute and the University of Aachen (RWTH).

Admission requirements:
Candidates should have an initial Master's degree in fields related to the built heritage or to cultural resource management, such as architecture, design, (construction) engineering, archaeology, (art) history, urban planning or cultural studies. Candidates with a five-year bachelor's degree giving access to the professional career of architect or engineer in their country can also apply. Motivated candidates with a Master of Science degree in another relevant discipline can be accepted, but they should contact the office of the programme in advance.
Further information about admission requirements, applications and scholarships is availabe on kuleuven.be/asro .

Profile:
Applicants should be able to demonstrate actual commitment to the conservation of cultural heritage in general. They should be willing to work in a team, and to let ideas from their own backgrounds, training, and cultural contexts be confronted with those of other students.
By successful completion of the programme, students will have acquired and developed sufficient knowledge in all basic fields of conservation and restoration, as well as more specialised knowledge in those conservation and restoration subjects close to their own basic training. As such, they can advance their professional practice or start research in the heritage field.
