Programme & mobility tracks
The Masters (120 ECTS) is integrated in order to strengthen the coherence of the programme and offers a logical and identical progression as far the main teaching units are concerned (TU 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The compulsory student mobility track (with the exception of Semester 4) offers the same number of ECTS for all 4 semesters in order to guarantee the homogeneity of the whole programme. This is reinforced by identical teaching structures on the 3 sites (same number of modules, same number of units within each module, and same number of ECTS within each module):
- Semester 1, Saint Etienne: students learn the necessary fundamentals to know and analyse international cultural landscape, together with relevant the techniques and methods, with a focus on preventive and curative management and conservation. Students will also be introduced to issues of materials at the “Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines” of Saint-Etienne.
- Semester 2, Naples: students apply on the field what they have learnt during the preceding semester. They are introduced to territory planning and management (risks, obstacles, dynamics), and its sustainable development. Links are established with the European University Centre for Cultural Properties (Ravello – Amalfi Coast).
- Semester 3, Stuttgart: students get further training in the theory, enhancement and practices of tangible and intangible heritage. They start learning about heritage and culture communication, its representation, its conceptual images and its virtual dimension. Students take part in activities of the International Centre for Research, Culture and Technologies (IZKT - Stuttgart).
- During Semester 4, students finish their study programme in one of the three universities with a personal project which will have taken form during the last three semesters.
