Objectives
The aim of this Master program is to provide students with integrated skills in the areas of the social sciences and humanities, the conservation and restoration sciences and physical engineering, which will enable them to understand and act on industrial and scientific heritage. The program draws on and integrates multiple skills from the Department of Applied Social Sciences, the Department of Conservation and Restoration and the Department of Physics, by bringing together unique synergies that will enable students to benefit from an innovative curriculum and the possibility of preparing dissertations within an interdisciplinary perspective.
This programme aims to provide students with consistent and up-to-date knowledge about industrial and scientific heritage, as well as to develop technical and scientific skills adjusted to the academic and professional context. Based on an interdisciplinary perspective and by combining knowledge from different fields, at the end students should be able to:
- Contribute to the theoretical framework and intervention in industrial heritage, in technological and scientific culture, in identity and memory, in museology, in conservation and restoration;
- Develop critical analytical skills in the areas of museology and scientific and technological heritage and its relationship with the historical context and contemporary society;
- Acquire scientific research skills and knowledge application in the fields of preservation and management of industrial and scientific heritage;
- Solve complex problems by making use of an interdisciplinary theoretical-experimental framework.
Curriculum
Career opportunities
In terms of the professional opportunities, the Master’s degree in Industrial and Scientific Heritage opens up the possibility to manage heritage through the preservation of material and immaterial culture, which requires a dialogue with the various stakeholders, from the State and local authorities to producers and consumers of culture, private institutions, museums, foundations and associations. This training will enable graduates to develop fundamental heritage management skills in central and local governmental bodies, in curatorship in arts, science, technology and industrial heritage, in conservation and restoration of industrial and scientific heritage, in communication and industrial tourism, in research and scientific, cultural, industrial and heritage policymaking.

About the Department of Physics
The Physics Department (DF), formally created in 1986, was a pioneer in Portugal in teaching Physics Engineering. Presently, the DF carries out its teaching activities (1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles), fundamental and applied research and technological development in the fields of Physics, Physical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. It is also dedicated to providing services and to scientific dissemination in these fields.
The department's scientific activity is essentially carried out in two research units, LIBPhys-UNL and CEFITEC. Research covers several areas, such as atomic and molecular physics, nuclear and plasma physics, surface and interface physics, laser and vacuum physics, instrumentation, analytical techniques applied to health and cultural heritage, medical instrumentation, medical imaging, machine learning, biosignals and tissue engineering.
