The Cultural Heritage Studies Program, to be hosted from 2024 at the Department of Historical Studies, combines theoretical and practical education, offering a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches with a strong emphasis on practical knowledge and skills based on fieldwork, and internships with local, regional and global heritage organizations. Graduates of the program will be capable of working at various levels in cultural heritage and resource research, protection, and management.
Cultural Heritage Studies: Academic Research, Policy, Management is an interdepartmental and interdisciplinary MA program of CEU intended to educate individuals who wish to become heritage experts and practitioners. It is developed and administered by a program committee from different academic disciplines and units.
