For workshop practice projects and for projects related to the Master’s
thesis, the schools primarily choose or accept conservation or
conservation-restoration projects with analyses and/or treatments
demanding new methodologies and consequently offering opportunities
for applied research.
Workshop practice is coached and supervised by fully qualified
conservation and restoration professionals. While it covers both theoretical
and practical aspects, a strong focus is laid on the development of
practical skills.
These modules bring students into close contact with the profession,
giving them the opportunity to participate in practical assignments, related
to their chosen specialization. Students will test the knowledge acquired during theory modules and will learn how to put it into practice.
Workshop practice modules can be conducted in laboratories in-house or
outside the institution, or at other recognized equivalent Swiss or European institutions in order to enhance the exchange of experience and the mobility of students. |
Students will generate a written and illustrated report detailing knowledge
and abilities acquired during each course. Practical work and
documentation are the basis for course evaluation.
External practice is documented and certified by a comprehensive report
on the student’s activities. The student’s written documentation plus an
assessment of the students’ performance by his or her external supervisor
is the basis for evaluation.
The hours of professional work attended in conservation-restoration
practice could be recognized with a corresponding number of ECTS
credits. The exact number of ECTS credits will be determined by the
scientific board of each school, evaluating the work done and considering
a minimum of 30 students’ working hours for 1 ECTS credit. |
