The Specialisation School in Architectural and Landscape Heritage (SSIBAP) offers 38 courses, between compulsory and optional ones, along with free activities such as seminars, conferences, study trips, workshops, and internships in public and private institutions that work in the field of protection and enhancement of cultural and landscape heritage.

 

The goal is to allow students to tailor their educational path following their previous studies and the subject of the specialisation thesis. At the beginning of the year, students are required to compile a study plan and a curriculum, to define the optional courses (20 cfu in total) they wish to follow during the two years of study.

 

programme articulation

 

The two-year programme is articulated in four semesters, accompanied by initial and final workshops held by national and international professionals and experts in the field of cultural and landscape heritage. Each semester is divided into two five-week modules, with lessons on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

 

From the first semester, students are required to choose and develop their specialisation thesis. The educational offer focuses on the students' projects and is mainly developed in laboratories, with the involvement of several disciplines and the contribution of external professionals.

 

modality

 

courses

there are compulsory and optional courses in different disciplines. Courses can be articulated in frontal lessons, seminars, study trips, workshops, and visits to construction sites and laboratories.

 

specialisation thesis laboratory

these laboratories involve students in the practical learning process and aim to examine in depth the subject of the specialisation thesis. The laboratories are coordinated by the Director of the School, with the participation of the School’s professors and other external personalities and experts in the field.

 

optional activities

students can follow other, combined, or monodisciplinary, optional activities to gain a detailed understanding of one or more specific subjects. In addition to the above-mentioned courses, the School may organize seminars and workshops in collaboration with other institutions and cultural heritage protection authorities. Students may also participate in educational activities promoted by other institutions. The number of recognized university credits must be certified by the organizer and approved by the Director or the School’s Board.

 

study trips

the School periodically organizes study trips. Participation in these activities allows the recognition of 2 or 4 cfu, according to the duration and characteristics of the trip. There are two different kinds of trips:

- trips by individual professors whose number of cfu is specified in advance

- multidisciplinary trips by the School to destinations related to the main subjects of the study programme. This optional activity can be recognized only once during the two-year programme.
