The program promotes research skills and facilitates the integration of professionals in an international, especially European, context.

The program builds on the content of the Higher Degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage taught at ESCRBC (Decree 33/2011), and equivalent training is therefore required.

Otherwise, they may be required to complete additional preparatory courses.

Particularly relevant are prior knowledge in “Professional Management and Organization,” “Conservation-Restoration Projects,” and “Research and Documentation Methodology,” as this Master’s specifically expands on these subjects.

It is recommended to have a B2 language proficiency level to facilitate student mobility and the option to carry out external internships abroad.
