FranceInstitut National du Patrimoine (INP)Master 15 yearsIt's a national public school, Exams are done in order to get in, so chances are better for people with a firsthand background in science or art history for example, Possible eligibility/equivalence if you started a cursus abroad but you have to be fluent in FrenchDiplôme d'Etat de niveau I, Public schools should be favored in order to get employment in national institutions as the master degree allows to work on both public and private collections. However, private schools can still allow to work in certains cases on public collections, the journey is not as easy and is actually closed in many instances (for example you need a state diploma level I to answer public contracts). Also note either way that employment as conservators in institutions in France is scarce, most conservators work independently and the law open competitions (?) to answer public contracts.
