New MA in Stained Glass Conservation and Heritage Management, at the University of York
A new MA programme in stained glass conservation at the University of York meets a widely recognized need for training and a qualification in this field; internationally, it is the only one to be conducted in English. Teaching is based at the historic King’s Manor, in central York, five minutes walk from York Minster.
York is probably the best place in the world to study stained glass. The glass of York Minster and the city’s parish churches counts among the most important anywhere. Since the 19th century, the city has also developed an international reputation as a centre for the restoration and conservation of historic glass. At the University, study of the subject has been a strength for forty years; and the national stained glass recording project (CVMA Great Britain) is based there. At the King’s Manor, home to the Archaeology Department, the Centre for Eighteenth-century Studies and the Centre for Medieval Studies, students will be part of a thriving graduate community.
The programme lasts two years, including modules devoted to techniques of glass conservation; modules in the History of Art; modules in Archaeology (including Conservation Studies and Heritage Management); a placement in a qualified workshop, in Europe or the United States; and a dissertation. It takes advantage of partnerships with many bodies nationally and internationally, and leading conservation studios in Britain, on the Continent and in the United States. Twice a year, week-long masterclasses will be offered by visiting lecturers of international reputation.
Substantial scholarships are available:
- The Samuel H. Kress Foundation scholarship, for a student from the United States, covering fees and maintenance (2 years)
- 3 Headley Trust Studentships, covering home fees (2 years)
- The Glaziers Trust Studentship, covering home fees (2 years)
- Up to 6 Headley Trust Scholarships, for maintenance grants of £1,000 to £5,000
