The Cultural Heritage: Sciences, Technologies and Diagnostics degree programme is designed to train students to become qualified professionals who can contribute to the study and conservation of cultural heritage and information storage media.

Graduates will be equipped with the necessary methodological, scientific and technological skills to be able to: - assess the state of conservation of a piece of cultural heritage, also performing operational tasks; - analyse the morphological and structural characteristics and properties of its component materials; - perform tasks pertaining to the identification of cultural objects and risk assessment; - design interventions and diagnostic projects to stop the degradation and deterioration of archaeological sites, historical and artistic artefacts, museum collections, information storage media and their contents (archives, digital contents, music, theatre plays, films etc.); - design interventions and diagnostic projects for the conservation of information storage media and their contents; - take on science and technology roles in professional organisations and institutions in charge of the protection, management and conservation of cultural heritage, as well as in private professional associations operating in the fields of environmental conservation and restoration; - speak and write proficiently in at least one language of the European Union other than Italian, both in their field of expertise and for general communication purposes; - perform tasks related to the communication, conservation, use and management of information, including operational tasks; - work in team and independently, as required, and smoothly integrate into a new workplace.

Year I includes a core set of activities designed to provide students with training in the basic scientific disciplines; these are complemented by courses on cultural heritage and on certain types of cultural assets. Year II includes courses devoted to science and technology applied to the conservation of cultural heritage, courses focusing on disciplines pertaining to Earth sciences and natural sciences, as well as other educational activities aimed at giving students an interdisciplinary training. The goal of this combination of disciplines is to provide the basics of professional scientific enquiry, to ensure that graduates in Cultural Heritage: Sciences, Technologies and Diagnostics receive an all-round cultural training. During year III, students can customise their study plan by choosing courses dedicated to different types of cultural heritage, such as archaeological findings, historical and artistic artefacts, scientific and technological tools and the various information storage media. This will allow them to focus on employable skills and to increase their chances of entering the job market quickly and smoothly right after graduating.
