The TC Foundation are delighted to see the new MPhil Book and Paper Conservation course has got off to a great start. As it is the first year of the programme, four students began in September 2025, there will be a larger intake in future years.

What an active year they have had so far - they've attended workshops on paper making and printing, and had opportunities to train and network with many conservators in Scotland and the wider UK. Here's the blog from them about their first semester:

The TC Foundation received a generous award from the Pilgrim Trust towards inaugural bursaries for the MPhil Book and Paper Conservation students. The TC Foundation trustees are grateful to the Pilgrim Trust who have been long term supporters of the Kelvin Centre (previously known as the Textile Conservation Centre) and the students who have passed through its doors since 1975!
