Overview
Short description, aim of program:
Within the Institute of History, the Department for Interdisciplinary History has been providing education in the field of cultural heritage since 2012, initially as a specialization of the History MA program, and from 2016 in the form of an independent Hungarian master’s degree program. Since 2018, the Department has been coordinating a bilingual (English and French) Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree program on cultural heritage (TEMA+ European Territories. Heritage and Development), in association with four partner universities (Charles University, Prague; École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris; University of Catania; Université Laval, Québec) and in cooperation with European Heritage Label (EHL) and various UNESCO organs. The English-language Cultural Heritage Studies MA program is based on the domestic and international experiences of the department. The program provides internships for students in several institutions involved in heritage protection and management.
This program is recommended to applicants who
are willing to gain a solid and interdisciplinary scientific knowledge in critical cultural heritage studies, as well as practical experience and skills offered by internships with local, regional and national cultural organisations and heritage institutions. It is also suggested for those who wish to integrate to an international scientific network and to a highly professional scientific community.
This program enables students to
prepare for academic careers as researchers and/or for working opportunities in various branches in the field of cultural heritage, by combining theoretical and practical knowledge.
Strength of program:
One of the main features of the program is the interdisciplinary approach, covering several areas of research related to cultural and nationalism studies, historiography, sociology and urbanism, together with the offer of a variety of methodological approaches and a strong emphasis on practical knowledge. Our graduates will have a broad knowledge in many areas of cultural heritage, both in theoretical and practical dimensions. Besides offering up-to-date research results and a wide range of current theories, the department is characterised by a friendly, familiar atmosphere where students are provided by close, personalized supervision.
The department, since its foundation, has very close cooperation with prestigious European universities and it is embedded into a wide academic network. In the last years, the department has coordinated the Master Course TEMA European Territories (Civilisation, Nation, Region, City): Identity and Development and the TEMA+ European Territories: Heritage and Development programme, which makes European cultural heritage its new key element, after recognizing the importance of cultural heritage on global, national and regional scales, and, within the EU. Between 2007 and 2020, the department participated to the Horizon 2020 project entitled REACH (Re-designing access to cultural heritage for a wider participation in preservation, (re)use and management of European culture) and since 2020, to the Horizon 2020 project UNCHARTED Understanding, Capturing and Fostering the Societal Value of Culture.
