About this program
The degree programme in cultural heritage and cultural heritage protection provides students with fundamental skills required for the management and handling of material and immaterial cultural heritage, as well as a sound understanding of the foundations of cultural heritage protection. The course covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of cultural heritage. Lectures and seminars enable students to gain a theoretical grounding, as well as practical skills, within the field of cultural heritage. Content from the field of law, and teaching units offered in partnership with investigative bodies such as the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA), state offices for criminal investigation, and customs offices, ensure that students gain fundamental knowledge of aspects of law and criminology which relate to cultural heritage protection. The course also includes a scientific element which addresses material analysis (counterfeits) and digital heritage. Work placements offered in cooperation with relevant partners (museums, world heritage sites, monument offices, international organisations) also give students the opportunity to develop practical skills (the presentation of cultural artefacts, heritage management), and provide initial insight into the demands of the employment market. Practical courses run by the Heidelberg Center for Cultural Heritage (HCCH), often with the cooperation of external bodies, provide students with key skills required for the proper management of material and immaterial cultural heritage, as well as their proper handling.
