ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

The Dubrovnik study programme in Conservation and Restauration is based on a state-of-the-art technical, technological, expert and scientific knowledge in conservation and restauration, which is taught to students by numerous professors and experts. The programme is founded on a very much needed broad theoretical basis with focus on practical student work. Students take their regular classes in theory and do a part of their professional practice in the classrooms and workshops of the University of Dubrovnik. Also, they do a part of their professional practice in the workshops of the Croatian Conservation Institute in all parts of Croatia as well as in numerous Croatian museums, libraries, archives and private conservation and restauration workshops contracted by the University.

During their study, students have the possibility to take classes in other universities with which the University of Dubrovnik has signed Erasmus+ contracts within the Erasmus+ Programme (Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Germany, Check Republic, Greece and other).
