Specific requirements for accessing this degree

• Recommended student profile: This course is recommended to Graduates in Art History, History, Archaeology, Architecture, Fine Arts, Music Sciences; however, because of the interdisciplinarity of these studies and the likely application of students from other EU and Latin American countries, alternative access routes may be considered. All candidates must have a basic knowledge of Art History to be able to adequately follow the teachings. No specific test will be carried out, although prior training and its suitability to the training objectives of the master will be taken into account during the selection process. Students with academic curricula containing credits in Art History, History of Architecture, History, Law, Sociology, studies and official master's degrees previously carried out in the field of museology, historical and artistic heritage, cultural management, restoration and design and curating of museums and temporary exhibitions will be preferentially evaluated for admission. Languages will also be valued.
