Course description
The need for preserving, conserving, and rehabilitating heritage sites isn't a new concept. However, working as a specialist in the restoration sector is a relatively young field in architecture globally. In today's uncertain world, it's crucial to intensify efforts to safeguard our cultural and architectural heritage for future generations. The Master's Program in 'Architectural and Cultural Heritage' offers a structured educational approach in this domain. We aim to generate new knowledge and pose fresh questions in response to evolving contexts. Simultaneously, we strive to adopt the best practices in Building Restoration. Our program blends Theory, Design, and Research, and maintains strong connections with the region's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments in Saxony-Anhalt, and the State Archives in Saxony-Anhalt. This program is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the restoration sector. By integrating practical experience with academic learning, we ensure that our graduates are well-prepared to meet the challenges of preserving our shared heritage.
