Introduction

This program, structured into five specialisation branches, aims to train historians and experts in cultural heritage, history of science, and museology, equipping them to produce innovative and high-quality scientific knowledge. It seeks to equip researchers with conceptual and methodological tools tailored to historical, heritage, museological, and history of science research while encouraging openness to methodologies from other disciplines. Furthermore, the program aims to strengthen critical thinking skills and cognitive understanding of various past realities, promoting the production of original knowledge. It also seeks to develop oral and written communication skills essential for higher education and research and to raise students' awareness of the application of historical knowledge in different intellectual and professional domains. Additionally, it intends to stimulate critical autonomy, enhance the ability to project experiences from other historical contexts onto current issues of governance and citizenship, and encourage the use of history and memory as instruments of local, regional, national, and transnational cohesion.
