University of Lincoln

Lincoln's Conservation of Cultural Heritage MPhil/PhD offers advanced research opportunities across a range of fields with Conservation and Heritage Studies. Research students can benefit from specialists working in: conservation science, preventative conservation, digital heritage, heritage and climate change, the conservation of historic interiors, and critical heritage studies. Research students will be able to access support and training designed to develop the practical and critical skills necessary for investigation and study at doctoral level. Direction will be available from a supervisory team, and students will can benefit from the School's research expertise spanning a broad range of conservation and cultural heritage specialisms. Strong links exist within the College of Arts and with the College of Science, and there is an interdisciplinary research culture that facilitates collaboration with colleagues across a wide range of topics. Current research areas include archaeological conservation, paint and pigment analysis, and preventative conservation. Study at MPhil/PhD level takes the form of supervised individual research. Students are expected to work on one topic of their choice for the duration of the study period. Students are expected to produce appropriate written work on a regular basis for submission to their supervisors, who can then provide feedback and agree the next stage of work.
