Course contents

The Course Programme has the educational objective of training graduates capable of performing diagnostic investigations, in a multidisciplinary context, to learn about the properties and characteristics of the materials used in cultural assets, to identify the causes of degradation and establish the most appropriate methods and products to ensure their protection, conservation and enhancement.
The course combines solid technical and scientific training with expertise in the fields of history-art, archaeology, archiving-bibliography and economics. The course features numerous workshops for the practical application of the knowledge acquired in material diagnostics and morphological and structural study of an asset, the definition of possible intervention technologies for its conservation, as well as the understanding and the recognition of the asset in its entirety and in relation to its historical and social context and environment.
During the first year, students take lessons in basic mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer science and geology, as well as in notions on the history of artistic techniques and methodologies of archaeological research. The second year includes lessons on biology, the techniques of conservation of architectural heritage and of restoration theory, in addition to laboratories of chemical sciences for cultural heritage and analytical diagnostics, during which students apply and consolidate their new-found scientific knowledge and acquire practical experience. The second year also provides skills in economics and archiving useful to the management of cultural heritage. The third year is devoted to professional training through cultural heritage conservation laboratories and an innovative interdisciplinary laboratory, in addition to more in-depth learning of physical chemistry and the legislation applied to cultural heritage.
At the end of the course, graduates will have acquired knowledge and advanced skills in scientific diagnostic techniques and data interpretation techniques for the analysis and documentation of the various aspects of a cultural asset, appropriate expertise to identify the degradation processes and collaborate in interventions of recovery and conservation, placing materials of art in their historical-artistic context, as well as expertise in inventorying, computerisation and protection of cultural heritage even in cooperation with other professional figures.

Admission requirements

Foreign language skills
English
For admission onto the Informatics, Environmental Sciences and Technologies for the Conservation and the Restoration degree programmes understanding of English at level B1, at least, is required.
Other educational requirements
All students who have obtained a high school diploma or an equivalent and approved qualification obtained abroad can enrol on the degree course. To complete the degree course in Science and Technology for Cultural Heritage, students are required to have basic knowledge in maths, physics and chemistry, as well as elements of scientific method and language. Admission requires at least level B1 proficiency in English. There are compulsory checks of possession of these requirements.
The course regulations establish the procedures for checking academic admission requirements, also indicating any additional learning requirements to be achieved in the first year of the course and the remedial activity to be undertaken if the initial requirements are not met. Special courses can be taken to recover any educational deficiencies related to the secondary school curriculum followed.
More information on OFA for this programme is available on the webpage dedicated to the admission requirements.

Admission

Admission
No admission selection
Understanding of mathematics, abstraction, and methodological accuracy are evaluated in a TOLC-I national test carried out by CISIA, compulsary for proceeding with the enrollment. The OFA is considered ‘fulfilled’ with a minimum mark of 15/41 (the Sciences section is weighted for 10%, while the scores obtained for the other three sections are weighted at 100%). The English section is optional, does not affect the mark and it does not replace any language tests required by the degree programme for admission. If you do not pass the TOLC-I test you still can enroll in the selected degree programme: you will be assigned an Additional Learning Obligation (OFA) for logic-mathematics that you are able to fulfil through participating in specific recovery tests. The procedure of verifying the OFA, the calendar for attendances and the catch-up courses provided are detailed in the specific web page found through: Study > OFA and elegibility.
