“Protection of European cultural assets”

How great is and will society’s willingness to finance qualified work in the field of restoration and heritage conservation remain? Are our sectors strong enough to attract the necessary attention in the highly professionalized information market? Beyond the necessary training standards in the field of restoration technology, we will increasingly have to devote ourselves to society, information transfer, cultural management and service marketing.

These topics are the focus of the Master’s degree program “Protection of European Cultural Heritage”, which was founded in 1999.
Practical knowledge from the subjects of cultural and social sciences, cultural management and cultural marketing are combined with basic knowledge of various cultural heritage sectors. These qualifications are used in projects developed in cooperation with various cultural institutions.

Further objectives of the Master’s program include Optimization of own activities for the “freelancers”, independent project development as well as acquisition of funds in a larger organizational context. The subjects represented here are hardly available in the classic training models of monument conservation.
The theoretical and practical knowledge is taught by proven experts from eight countries. However, the course benefits most from its excellent networking with several institutions in the Berlin-Brandenburg region.
