Degree program in cultural heritage materials and technologies

New postgraduate programme
Master of Science in Cultural Heritage Materials and Technologies

Studies on the interdisciplinary field of Cultural Heritage and
Science/Technology offer the great potential of a modern and
balanced educational syllabus; they also produce an ideal platform
for holistic approaches that are guaranteed by the creative mixing
of up-to-date methodologies with archaeological science,
archaeometry and cultural heritage technologies.

CultTech operates within the Peloponnese, an advanced natural and
cultural environment that hosts plethora of historical,
archaeological sites and monuments.  A key issue for CultTech is its
orientation towards hands-on research thus offering post-graduate
research training and the potential of the implementation of a
diploma dissertation closely related or within ongoing research
projects.

The programme is oriented from the

    Department of History, Archaeology and Cultural Resources
    Management

and key lecturers from other academic institutions in Greece.

The official language of the programme is English.  The duration is
3 semesters (two semesters of taught courses and one for the
implementation of the dissertation thesis).

Students from the fields of archaeology, cultural heritage
management, conservation, materials science and engineering are
welcomed to apply.
