Programme description

The Master in Landscape Management. Heritage, Territory and City, focuses on training academic and professional researchers who respond to the growing needs related to territorial planning, the sustainability of ecosystems, the rural-urban continuum, culture and heritage valuation, including agricultural and forestry activities, biodiversity, geodiversity or chemistry. Through the training program, all the theoretical-methodological elements are introduced for carrying out diagnoses and prospective studies on the landscape, heritage, territory and the city, considering their different characteristics and their relationship with the environment. In this sense, the value of the landscape is transmitted as a natural, cultural, economic and pedagogical resource, working on the most appropriate study and analysis methodologies for the detection, quantification and correction of environmental problems. In addition, the necessary knowledge to intervene in the conservation of heritage elements is acquired, analyzing its consequences from a multidisciplinary perspective and considering the ethical aspects of preservation.

This master's degree gives direct access to the Doctoral Program in Interdisciplinary Scientific Strategies in Heritage and Landscape. UFI Global Change and Heritage promotes this master's degree, with the support of the UNESCO Chair in Cultural Landscapes and Heritage, and the collaboration of the CSIC–Institute of Heritage Sciences and the Getxo City Council.
