Cultural Heritage
Double-discipline Bachelor`s Study Programme
Presentation
The Cultural Heritage study program is the only one in Slovenia that offers a comprehensive understanding of heritage and is not limited to looking at a single feature.
The course fills the professional field of preservation, protection, promotion, development and marketing of cultural heritage. At a time when we emphasize interdisciplinarity, the integration of diversity, cultural and regional diversity, and the richness of the heritage of the environment in which we live, as well as the principles of sustainable development, the study of cultural heritage offers the real challenges of modern times and new employment opportunities.
The programme provides an introduction to cultural heritage in the broadest sense and familiarizes students with the main laws of heritage protection and its importance for modern life. It offers students an introduction to tangible and intangible cultural heritage and an interdisciplinary perspective on the professional maintenance and preservation of cultural heritage. In terms of content, it is designed as an interweaving of archaeology, art history, ethnology, architecture and history.
An important part of the study is practical and field work, professional excursions, which directly confront students with problems, projects and the situation in the field of heritage, exchange of experiences, opinions and views on many issues. Students acquire knowledge of the processes of documentation, administrative management and professional processing of all areas of heritage, which enables them to be employed in regional and national public institutions, state administrations, heritage marketing and promotion institutions, media editorial offices and promotion agencies in the field of heritage and tourism. Graduates can continue their studies in postgraduate study programs.
