Studienprojekt 1 (Online)

This module will enable students to apply the skills and knowledge they have acquired from the courses of the World Heritage Studies curriculum into the context of a specific heritage site. Students will carry out in-depth analysis on a chosen topic in relation to a cultural or natural heritage property. The interdisciplinary approach will allow them to examine the site not in an isolated context, but in relation to a wide range of stakeholders. Students will learn how to identify threats and opportunities, as well as how to plan and prioritize project tasks. The study project will enable students to develop, through individual and team work, innovative concepts and strategies for the protection and promotion of heritage sites. Students will develop skills and competencies that are required in heritage projects: scientific research and analysis skills, communication skills, problem-solving skills, competencies for concept development and project management.
