Dept. of Conservation Science
Breathe new life into our cultural properties to be conserved for generations.
Dept. Homepage(KOR)Objectives of Education
Conservation science is a field of study like a general hospital for cultural properties that applies cutting-edge scientific technology to diagnose and treat damaged cultural properties.
Conservation science is a discipline that scientifically investigates, studies, and treats cultural heritage composed of various materials to extend its life as much as possible, and applies cutting-edge analysis equipment to comprehensively identify traditional materials and production techniques hidden in cultural heritage. It is also a study that observes the material world of archaeological data, analyzes it precisely using scientific methods, and then interprets the phenomenon. We aim to educate professionals such as doctors for the permanent preservation of cultural properties.
Educational Goals
The goal of the Department of Conservation Science is to train cultural heritage conservation experts who have both practical conservation processing skills and scientific research skill based on a scientific understanding of cultural assets of various materials.
