Admission requirements

However, students from other tracks who want to know more about maritime archaeology and heritage management are welcome as well.
Description
This (R)MA course is partly a follow-up of the BA2 course Maritime Archaeology, Culture and Landscapes: Research, Protection and their Role in (Identity) Building, where the maritime landscape is the focal point of research.
This will be a more in-depth course in which specifically underwater cultural heritage will be the focus. Through classes aiming at methods and techniques used to investigate, protect and manage underwater resources, the development of ships, boats and watercrafts, shipbuilding and current issues on the management of the underwater cultural heritage, you will learn how this rich resource is being investigated and managed.
Through small tutorial films and guest appearances in classes, a variety of different projects will also be demonstrated.
Students who want to participate in the Tollense Valley (underwater) field school are strongly advised to take this course.
