About
Whether your professional background is in science, environmental management, architecture, engineering, building and construction, or the humanities, this course will give you the skills in understanding, conserving, reconstructing and restoring heritage materials.
You will explore how heritage materials are made, how they respond to their changing environments, how people value them, and how conservation professionals ensure they survive into the future. You will learn how to investigate the condition and significance of heritage items, develop conservation and management plans, and carry out laboratory and on-site treatment techniques for preservation and restoration – all through practical field-based workshops and tours of heritage sites and collections.
All units contain Indigenous cultural content spanning the cultural heritage sector, including theory and practice in historical and contemporary social, economic and cultural issues.
Intrinsic to this course is the flexibility to develop your personal vision, interests and focus as a professional. Progression to the Graduate Diploma in Creative and Cultural Futures and Master of Arts in Creative and Cultural Futures is available by enrolling in additional units.
