The programme in a nutshell
The encounter between humanistic and managerial culture
The interdisciplinary approach is the specificity of this programme: the disciplines related to the history and art criticism - taught by professors from the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy - are complemented by economic-business and legal subjects (with a focus on the specific legislation of the cultural heritage sector).
Teaching methodology
Professors from the humanities alternate with professors from the Faculty of Economics: two different approaches, but a similar organisation. The method of lectures will be enriched by seminars and meetings organised specifically for this programme.
What next? Management skills in the service of heritage
The multidisciplinary training enables graduates to work with managerial and project skills as officials, consultants or entrepreneurs in the field of organisations, bodies and foundations active in the cultural heritage and entertainment sector.
