The Folkloristics and Applied Heritage master's programme opened in 2017 with the mission of training specialists who are well-versed in scholarly approaches to folk culture and cultural heritage and competent to use this expertise creatively in academia and beyond. Heritage has emerged as a key category shaping how individuals, communities and regional and state-level actors relate to the past and imagine the future while making and re-making themselves in the present. Our remarkably diverse student body attests to the global relevance and appeal of this field.
The programme is affiliated with the UNESCO Chair on Applied Studies of Intangible Cultural Heritage, established as part of the Institute for Cultural Research in 2019. The UNESCO Chair conducts research on cultural heritage and cultural diversity and heritage matters more broadly, prepares students for their future in this dynamic field, and collaborates with heritage professionals near and far. 
Students also benefit from the institute's participation in the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's programme Education in Museums and Heritage (EDUMaH), to be launched in 2023, which broadens the course offerings.
The Folkloristics and Applied Heritage Studies master's programme helps students to develop a solid basis in the study of folklore and critical heritage studies as well as many transferable skills, enabling them to:
  • unpack the workings of tradition and the process of heritage production in the context of cultural diversity and change
  • act as a mediator between different interest groups in the field of intangible cultural heritage
  • recognise and ethically apply cultural heritage as a resource in the public and non-governmental sectors, crafts, product design, tourism, and other areas of life.
