Programme learning outcomes

The acquisition and deepening of methods, knowledge and operational skills, which are able to fit in with flexibility and planning attitude in the various areas of cultural heritage enhancement, with particular focus on museums and, more generally, on communication seen as a decisive moment in the enhancement of assets and contexts.
The course fills a gap in university education, where enhancement is seen above all from the aspect management and management, while the communication courses are mostly aimed at companies or information and others consider the cultural heritage sector. The latter today requires innovative forms of communication to speak to different categories of the public through tools and languages ​​that, without betraying the correctness of the information content
and the peculiarities of the heritage, also know how to excite and involve. The course, placing itself in creative research which characterizes the academies, responds to this specific need by realizing in particular the following training objectives:
1. learning of the disciplines that allow to acquire a theoretical domain and research skills addressed to communication and enhancement processes involving museums and the various categories of cultural heritage, including architectural contexts and landscape.
2. acquisition of transversal skills in the “project practice” which allows to develop creativity and the critical thinking, and at the same time to develop skills in teamwork, experimenting with new approaches and skills.
3. acquisition of tools and techniques to develop projects in the publishing field, in web graphics and in multimedia applied to museums, exhibitions in general and communication events.
