Successful graduates from the RSUA Conservation Course are\neligible to undertake the RSUA Conservation Diploma, and applications are now\nopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RSUA Conservation Diploma is research-based and involves\nthe writing of a dissertation of around 20,000 words drawing on both original\nresearch and documented sources. While historical subjects are eligible,\ncandidates should note that practice-oriented dissertations are more likely to\ncontribute towards accreditation by the RIBA and RIAI. Examiners have\nbeen selected for their conservation expertise from across these islands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
