Training in conservation and restoration. Holders of a graduation degree in conservation and restoration, upon completion of this cycle of studies, acquire the title of conservator-restorer, and can fully assume the profession (ECCO, ENCoRE, Art. 140 /2009).
Holders of other graduation degrees accepted by the Study Cycle Coordination will be able to contribute to enhance the area of conservation and restoration by bringing together the knowledge acquired with their basic training and professional experience.
The collaboration of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon ensures a scientific component not only in terms of training but also in terms of access to spaces and equipment, essential for obtaining solid training in the desired area.
The formation of this cycle of studies values and makes known recent research in conservation and restoration, related to the technical terminology used, theoretical, ethical, deontological, social, methodological and material issues. Students, with guidance and in an autonomous and interdisciplinary way, are confronted with simple and complex conservation and restoration problems, with tests of techniques and materials being carried out and interventions in real works. In modern and contemporary art, traditional intervention in the field is not always applied, which is why the decision models applied internationally are analysed and tested. The study of the techniques and materials of the works and the procedures and materials used in conservation and restoration interventions is valued.
