Cultural Heritage and Tourism @

This degree course seeks to integrate the education objectives of both L-1 and L-15 classes by providing an interdisciplinary programme together with a full theoretical and practical understanding of historical, artistic, archaeological, archival and natural heritage. In addition, it addresses socio-economic, managerial and legal issues related to the sustainable development of regional areas. The course includes foreign languages, with English being compulsory and a further European language to be chosen between Spanish or French, as well as German or Russian as a consequence not only of existing international agreements, but also of the actual need to develop international markets mostly related to tourism. The aim is to develop the professional skills and competencies enabling operators to pinpoint and enhance, within a broad view, the network of historical and cultural, natural and productive elements in a given area with an eye to sustainable development and planning.
