Objectives

The DPTT is an innovative training, in a Distance Learning model that focuses on the relevance of heritage materialities for the dynamics, resilience and sustainability of human societies.

The DPTT privileges the training of theoretically robust staff with critical skills, based on the development of research projects applied to well-defined territorial contexts, which contribute to the development of these territories.

Professional Goals

The course is part of the interface between Material Culture Studies (identification, contextualization, interpretation, conservation) and Heritage (cultural landscapes, conservation, enhancement). These fields are intrinsically multidisciplinary (from the Humanities with interfaces with the exact and natural sciences), are integrated (in the concept of cultural landscapes) and open to the transdisciplinary dimension that dialogues with traditional knowledge and knowledge (constructive, local identity dynamics).

Jobs include R&D centres, public bodies, wealth management companies and higher education. In addition to employability in Portugal, the articulation of the Course with R&D teams in more than 40 countries, large international networks (BRIDGES, APHELEIA, CIPSH, UISPP) opens up strong prospects for internationalization.
