Archaeology and Heritage Studies is an interdisciplinary course that explores the past through material remains and examines how cultural heritage is preserved, managed, and interpreted. It combines elements of history, anthropology, and science to understand human societies from prehistoric to modern times.

The course also addresses the ethical and legal aspects of heritage management, including policies on cultural property, repatriation, and the role of museums.

Practical training often includes fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and digital technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and 3D modeling for site reconstruction.
