Post-Graduate
At post-graduate level, two universities teach New Zealand archaeology:
Conservation
To become a conservator you need to have a tertiary qualification in conservation studies. Employers increasingly prefer candidates to have a Master of Arts in conservation studies. This degree is currently only available overseas, in countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada.
The nearest university offering a relevant Master of Arts is the University of Melbourne, Australia. An undergraduate degree in subjects such as cultural heritage studies, archaeology, anthropology, organic chemistry, science, art history, or fine arts is needed to enter postgraduate training (taken from the Careers Services web page for Museum Conservator).
Victoria University of Wellington offers a MSc (Master of Science) in Heritage Materials Science, as well as a Postgraduate Diploma and a Postgraduate Certificate. An arrangement exists between VUW and the University of Melbourne regarding completion of the certificate and a transfer to the MA in conservation at Melbourne.
