Welcome to our programme

Heritage Materials Science is about the identification and understanding of the materials that make up objects which are part of our cultural heritage, the way they deteriorate, and the means to preserve them. We do this through our knowledge of materials science and applications of the latest chemical and physical technologies to heritage materials.

The power of modern scientific methods in the preservation and authentication of works of art, documents and antiquities for forensic science examination is increasingly being recognised. Graduates of this programme will be well qualified to be at the head of this global trend in art and museum conservation, archaeology and forensic evidence related to heritage materials.

At postgraduate level Victoria offers the following Heritage Materials Science programmes:

MSc in Heritage Materials Science
Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate in Heritage Materials Science
