We realise that fees at this level may appear daunting but, through our supporting charity, The Textile Conservation Foundation (TCF), we give considerable support to successful applicants to help them in their fundraising efforts. The fees for the MPhil Textile Conservation are high because of the intensive and high quality teaching and range of facilities and equipment that are provided on this internationally leading programme. The closing date for applications is normally in November, for entry in the next academic year. The selection process for the MPhil Textile Conservation programme begins nearly a year before the start of the academic year, to allow students time to raise funds for their study. It is easier to find employment as a textile conservator if you are able to be flexible in terms of location. However, it is worth noting that many graduates initially go on to short-term contract posts. In many cases these one-year internships, or short contracts, have resulted in graduates being permanently employed in their host institutions, such as the British Museum, National Museum Scotland. Many of our graduates have been awarded fellowships and internships in the UK, USA, Canada and Europe including Historic Royal Palaces, The National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian, and the Abegg-Stiftung. Our graduates have worked in museums and conservation institutions from San Francisco to Singapore and from Auckland, New Zealand, to Alaska. They now work in nearly 40 countries and are in senior positions worldwide. Graduates of the two programmes have an outstanding record of employment on graduation and of remaining in the sector. The great majority of graduates of this programme and of its predecessor, the Textile Conservation Centre’s MA Textile Conservation programme, now work in museums and other institutions.
