Conservation-Restoration of Cultural Heritage

Conservation and restoration of cultural assets is mandatory under heritage laws, which establish an obligation to protect and recognise cultural assets and disseminate them.

To deliver on heritage conservation and restoration commitments, specific training of a group of professionals is required at the highest academic level.

The bachelor's degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage provides the theoretical, practical, technical and scientific training required to undertake in a careful, thoughtful way the examination, assessment, documentation, preventive conservation, curative conservation and restoration of cultural heritage.

The course focuses on traditional and modern techniques of creating cultural heritage, techniques for the scientific analysis of materials from which heritage elements are composed, and techniques of intervention to preserve documentary and aesthetic information using European standards for heritage conservation.

The degree offers specific training that is essential for anyone who wishes to work in a profession that is an activity in the public interest due to its returns to society in the form of economic and cultural development and social cohesion.
