An international Master's degree taught in English, aimed at Bachelor's graduates in the humanities who wish to acquire computing skills to work with digital technologies in the knowledge and enhancement of cultural heritage and in the management of collections (museums, archives, libraries).
Heir to the EuroMACHS and Digital Humanities experiences and part of the PNRR project 'Territorial Pact of the Apulian University System', it integrates knowledge of European and Mediterranean heritage with developments in ICT and Artificial Intelligence, including security, privacy and data protection, to train experts able to work in the Information Society, in the public and private sectors.
The two-year path alternates computing courses (databases, web and mobile applications, virtual and augmented reality, digital environments for fruition) and humanities courses (management and processing of heritage data, cataloguing, digital dissemination, landscape archaeology, GIS, virtual restoration, historical archives), as well as project management, the legal field, laboratories (GIS, HBIM, gaming, 3D, AI) and traineeships.
The programme trains 'soft-STEM' profiles that enhance humanistic knowledge through ICT, broadening career prospects beyond teaching and the public sector: museums, archives, libraries, cultural and creative enterprises, bodies and foundations, and cultural and tourism services. Graduates may continue with doctorates, including the National Doctorate in Heritage Science.
