The Master of Science in Architecture & Heritage (ARCHER) is a two-year course in English, aiming at training architects in accordance with directives 85/384/EEC and EC 2005/36, with specific skills and competences in the field of built heritage, thus differing from the traditional academic courses in class LM-4. These skills include design, conservation, maintenance and management of architectural, urban and territorial heritage.

The activities of the Master of Science are structurally connected to the Campanian territory and are based on collaboration protocols with all the Authorities that deal with heritage in an institutional and managerial sense.

The didactic structure is highly innovative and based entirely on laboratory courses that provide direct experiences in the field. It offers a strong integration between design, humanities, and technical-scientific disciplines – the latter appropriately placed within the laboratory activities and not intended as mere knowledge separated from the design activity – in the firm belief that only a multidisciplinary vision of heritage allows architects to resolve its complexity and to face the challenges of its protection, conservation and enhancement.
