International Master - Science and Technology for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage

Описание: The two years Programme aims to train experts in the field of cultural heritage conservation and archaeometry. They will be able to analyse conservation problems and to detect deterioration processes thanks to their knowledge of the physical, chemical and structural properties of materials, as well as to identify any possible remedies.

In particular, conservation scientists acquire the following skills:
planning of diagnostics interventions with special regard to the identification of methods, materials, measurements and techniques for the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage;
full planning of diagnostics protocols for the conservation of cultural heritage;
planning and organisation of science museums, science cities, science exhibitions;
collaboration to the planning and implementation of IT systems for cultural heritage data treatment.

The multidisciplinary nature of the cultural heritage field calls for a variety of programmes which allows to meet the scientific and professional requirements of such field and provides at the same time a group of courses to complete the humanities education and to offer specialisation in general disciplines.
Training is completed by means of internships at university scientific labs or at public and private bodies of the field.
