So the Textile Conservation Center at Southampton University in England is closing (much to my disappointment as a prospective textile conservator). But I found out today that they’re trying to transplant “elements”(whatever that means) of the center to Oxford University. So Oxford University is added to my list of possible masters universities.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
IN ENLGAND.
I’m a little stirred up now, I really really would LOVE to get a masters of textile conservation from Oxford. But how on earth can I presume to think I would get in there?? My marks are mediocre despite my enthusiasm(read: obsession) with all things textiles. Is it possibly enough to get my through the admission process? I can’t even gather information about what the admission requirements would be because the program isn’t even organized yet. I would love to go to England, I would love to get a master’s in textile conservation, and I would love to go to Oxford. Could the stars possible align for me just this once? Pleasepleaseplease????
