Career prospects

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. Graduates of the two programmes have an outstanding record of employment on graduation and of remaining in the sector. They now work in nearly 40 countries and are in senior positions worldwide. Our graduates have worked in museums and conservation institutions from San Francisco to Singapore and from Auckland, New Zealand, to Alaska.

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. 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. and Historic Royal Palaces.

However, it is worth noting that many graduates initially go on to short-term contract posts. It is easier to find employment as a textile conservator if you are able to be flexible in terms of location.

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. The closing date for applications is normally in November, for entry in the next academic year.

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. 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. All those who accept places are given detailed guidance and support from the TC Foundation to help their own fundraising efforts; advice is also available from the College of Arts & Humanities Graduate School (for more information please see: School of Culture and Creative Arts Funding).

In addition there is bursary funding available through the Textile Conservation Foundation – all successful applicants are eligible to apply to the TCF for funding. There are some other sources such as smaller trusts and grant-giving bodies in the UK, as well as some overseas sources. The majority of students successfully secure funding for at least part of the cost of their fees.

If you are concerned, we recommend that you apply and that we discuss fees and fundraising as part of the interview process.

Prospective applicants could begin to investigate potential sources of funding, but you should not make contact with funding bodies before you have been offered and accepted a place on the programme.

Funding opportunities

College of Arts and Humanities Widening Participation Postgraduate Taught Schol

The College of Arts and Humanities is pleased to be offering Widening Participation Postgraduate Taught scholarships to support with studying a one-year postgraduate taught programme (either full-time across one year, or part-time across two years) in the College.

Beatrix Whistler and James McNeill Whistler Scholarship

The Beatrix Whistler and James McNeill Whistler Scholarships originate with an important collection of works by Whistler gifted by Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip to the University in 1935. Since then, and thanks to further gifts and acquisitions, the Hunterian has come to hold one of the two leading collections of Whistler’s work in the world and History of Art (SCCA) has become an international centre of expertise for the study of Whistler and his 19th century world.  

At her death in 1958, Miss Birnie Philip, Whistler’s heir and executrix, bequeathed the remainder of her art collection to the University, together with part of her residual estate for the purpose of establishing a scholarship scheme for students engaged in any branch of learning within the College of Arts & Humanities. In 2019, the Whistler scholarships scheme was revised in acknowledgement of the continuing links between Miss Birnie Philip’s 1958 bequest of artworks and her wish to support student learning at the University. 

The Whistler Scholarships are open to students in all disciplines of the College of Arts & Humanities. The award committee is willing to consider both individual applications AND joint applications (from up to THREE students). Innovative interdisciplinary work is particularly encouraged. However, students may only involve themselves in the submission of ONE application (individual OR joint).

The Whistler Scholarships cover travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses ONLY.
