Research
Lincoln's Conservation of Cultural Heritage PhD offers advanced research opportunities across a range of fields with Conservation and Heritage Studies. Research students can benefit from specialists working in: conservation science, preventative conservation, digital heritage, heritage and climate change, the conservation of historic interiors, and critical heritage studies.
Research students will be able to access support and training designed to develop the practical and critical skills necessary for investigation and study at doctoral level. Direction will be available from a supervisory team, and students will can benefit from the School's research expertise spanning a broad range of conservation and cultural heritage specialisms.
Strong links exist within the College of Arts and with the College of Science, and there is an interdisciplinary research culture that facilitates collaboration with colleagues across a wide range of topics. Current research areas include archaeological conservation, paint and pigment analysis, and preventative conservation.
