The Master’s and Ph.D. program on Digital Heritage and Landscape Archaeology of the University of Cyprus is a unique postgraduate program in the area of the E. Mediterranean that offers a concrete interdisciplinary academic course platform dealing with the application of Spatial Technologies and GeoInformatics in the wider domain of Digital Humanities. The program will act as an interface between New Technologies and the Humanities, exposing students to the latest spatial technological developments, providing hands-on training to different instrumentation and software, promoting a critical perspective of their application in terms of addressing archaeological- and historical- oriented questions and opening a dialogue between different disciplines.
- Open a dialogue and create a concrete platform of collaboration between the technological and humanities disciplines.
- Develop a dynamic environment of theoretical and practical training of high-qualified students.
- Provide synergies between research, museums, academia, public and private agencies, where students will be able to apply their knowledge and carry out their research.
- Offer an international educational setting, where students and researchers will interact productively and enhance the level of the research.
- Create a new generation of Archaeologists and Historians that can deal with the current trends of geospatial technologies and geo-information systems.
