The Advanced Certificate Program in Cultural Heritage Studies, available for MA students, offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the critical understanding, protection and preservation of tangible, intangible and natural heritage. Special attention is paid to contested and endangered heritage, as well as heritage in conflict areas.
Program Description
This Certificate is designed for students who wish to develop specialized knowledge relating to the values, preservation and management of cultural and natural heritage in inter-disciplinary perspectives. They will reflect on the major and minor, theoretical and practical, issues of managing or otherwise treating cultural heritage.
The mandatory course, as well as a selection of elective courses offered by the Departments of Historical Studies, Public Policy, Environmental Sciences and Policy as well as the Blinken OSA Archivum, allows students taking the Certificate to acquire knowledge on conceptual, historical, and policy-oriented aspects of heritage on a global level, with the critical application of mainstream theoretical and methodological approaches to regional case-studies and analysis.
