Program Description

This English-taught program trains you as an expert in cultural heritage conservation by applying an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates the study of chemistry, physics, biology, computer science, and geology. The Conservation Science and Technology for Cultural Heritage program prepares you to use modern restoration and conservation technologies as well as design new ones and equips you with the knowledge and experience you need to plan and execute prevention and maintenance projects and to study artifacts in a conservational context. Since the study program emphasizes hands-on experience, you will get to practice what you are learning in a city that is exceptionally rich in artistic and cultural heritage.

About the School

Originally established as Italy’s first business school in 1868, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice is now a multidisciplinary institution offering a wide range of study programs in economics and management, modern languages, the humanities, and the sciences.

Ca’ Foscari is based in the awe-inspiring city of Venice. With canals and boats instead of streets and cars , this city’s truly singular historic center has been a vibrant place of cultural and economic exchange for over a millennium, and the beauty of its art and architecture has made it a UNESCO World Heritage site. Thanks to the stimulating cultural legacy of its dynamic cosmopolitan context, Ca’ Foscari is characterized by the synergetic intersection of tradition and intellectual innovation , offering its students and professors the uniquely rewarding opportunity to learn and work in one of the world’s most remarkable cities.

Location

Ca’ Foscari University is located in the world-famous city of Venice, a unique urban center situated in a lagoon on the northeastern coast of Italy that is directly connected to the Adriatic Sea.

Venice is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region. It is built on an archipelago located in a shallow lagoon that comprises over 100 islands connected by footbridges. Since canals take the place of roads, people move around the city by foot and by boat. In fact, Venice is Europe’s largest modern urban car-free city.

The city is characterized by a wealth of stunning historic architecture and art because the historical Republic of Venice was a thriving trading port and major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, so some of the city’s sites are included on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites .

In addition to a colorful past, however, Venice has an equally vibrant present, for it continues to be a hub of contemporary art and culture .

Living in the historic center of Venice means living an environmentally conscious lifestyle. Due to the need to walk in most places, the city’s public spaces become social hubs. In fact, one of the most eagerly awaited moments in a Venetian student’s day is the so-called aperitivo in campo or outdoor aperitif: from the afternoon through to late evening, areas such as Campo Santa Margherita and the Erbarìa at Rialto turn into venues where people gather to chat and listen to music while they drink spritz and eat cicchetti – the traditional local aperitif and snacks that Venice is famous for.
