Conservation Restoration

English B2

Students work on conservation-restoration projects led by their teachers – employees of the Department. The teachers have professional titles required for performing procedures on paintings on various stretchers, polychrome wooden sculptures, stone, metal, wall paintings, mosaics, hard stone inlays, and objects of archaeological heritage. The abundance of both mobile and immobile cultural heritage of national and global significance is perhaps the main advantage of choosing this programme of study at the University of Split.
