Description

There is a growing need for heritage professionals who can respond to complex cultural, societal, and policy challenges. This international two-year programme offers an interdisciplinary perspective on cultural and religious heritage and develops the skills to engage with it responsibly and inclusively. You will explore its cultural, ecological, legal, and digital dimensions and how heritage is shaped by communities, institutions, and social and political contexts. The programme combines academic study with fieldwork, applied projects, and engagement with heritage organizations and communities. Through two mobility pathways across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, you will study heritage in diverse cultural settings. It prepares you for careers in heritage management, public authorities, NGOs, policymaking, and research. The University of Groningen coordinates RELIC in collaboration with Jagiellonian University Krakow in Poland, the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain, the Cyprus Institute in Cyprus, Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit in India, and the University of Guanajuato in Mexico.
