University of York (UK) to Offer MA in Stained Glass Conservation and Heritage Management Image

The stained glass workshop at the University of York

From the University of York website:

York has long been the premier centre in Britain for the study of stained glass, with unmatched resources in the Minster and city churches, leading conservation studios and the History of Art department's lively Stained Glass Research School. This innovative programme, the first of its kind in the English-speaking world, offers an integrated study of stained glass and its conservation, meeting a perceived need internationally for a qualification in this field. It is taught in partnership with the Archaeology Department. The aim is to offer training for a variety of employment, in stained glass conservation workshops, but also in heritage management, arts administration, architectural offices, engineering offices, administration of historic buildings and museums. The programme will also be a preparation for higher research degrees.
