The Department of Conservation and Built Heritage at the University of Malta is offering a full-time Masters Course in Conservation of Decorative Architectural Surfaces (Stone and Wall Paintings), starting in October 2018.

The course will be of relevance to graduates in archaeology, history of art, chemistry, biology, physics, architecture or engineering wishing to specialise in conservation and to make it their career. A Preparatory Year is followed by a two-year multidisciplinary course. The programme contains an equal balance of theoretical and practical subjects.  Big relevance is given to site work.

The Department of Conservation and Built Heritage of the University of Malta and Heritage Malta are embarking on a partnership, under the auspices of the Office of the President of Malta, to conserve the cycle of wall paintings illustrating key events of the 1565 Great Siege of Malta, located in the Grand Council Chamber of the Grand Master’s Palace in Valletta. The Italian artist Matteo Perez d’Aleccio  was specifically invited to Malta in 1577 to depict the Great Siege events by Grand Master Fra Jean de Cassiere himself.

The students of the M.Sc. will work on this very important cycle of wall paintings, under the supervision of the wall paintings conservator of the Department, in a project which will cover the 3 years of the Masters, from documentation and analyses to design and implementation of conservation  treatments.
