Master’s Degree in Enhancement of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage

The Master's Degree in Enhancement of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage is offered by the University of Bergamo. It combines theoretical rigour and professionalising practice through lectures, workshops and seminars, with a focus on the scientific analysis of cultural assets, communication to the public, digital technologies, tangible heritage (archival, book and artistic) and intangible and audiovisual heritage. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years and is taught in person in Bergamo. B2 English is required. Professionalising curricular internships at local and international partner bodies are included.

The aim is to train specialists in enhancement, communication and cultural project management for public institutions, companies and cultural organisations, with theoretical skills and innovative project-design ability. Career outcomes are cultural heritage conservator, museum curator, cultural manager, cultural project designer, cultural mediator, cultural marketing consultant and cultural tourism expert. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
