Conservation students, MSc and BSc, at Cardiff are required to do 8 weeks of\u00a0summer placement between years, supported by a stipend from the University. Luckily, the department has cultivated some amazing connections with museums around the UK,\u00a0 and even some in the US and Greece. Many of these connections come from far-flung alumni\/ae of the program who are happy to take on a student for a summer.\u00a0 This is a list of where current students will be spending their summers. Hopefully we will see some blog posts about their work next semester! Also included are the summer\/future plans of some students graduating this summer.\u00a0 The MSc year 2 students are spending the summer working on their dissertations, so are not included.<\/p>\n
