Master of Science in Conservation and Management of Built Heritage

The invaluable and varied built heritage of Peru, which is more than 14,000 years old, developed in different geographical contexts, with diverse materials, techniques, and construction systems, is in latent danger of being lost, both due to the fact that our country is highly seismic and with a long history of natural disasters, such as because in the last 50 years, it has been affected by economic, social and political conditions, which has obvious repercussions on its conservation.

Historic areas and centers nationwide, containers of urban environments, and monuments are potential work areas. It is necessary and possible to manage projects to enable private and public investments, aimed at recovering the quality of life of its population and the conservation of its built heritage.

This situation requires the training of Teachers who face and resolve conservation demands competitively. For this reason, the Faculty of Architecture, Urbanism and Arts consider it necessary and urgent to support specialized training tasks through the Master's program leading to obtaining the academic degree of Master of Science with a mention in Conservation and Management of Built Heritage.

The subjects that cover the topics of this Master's Degree complement the knowledge received at the university level, focusing especially on the national reality.

The master's degree seeks to train in the field of conservation and management of the built heritage for the intervention both in historical-artistic monuments and in urban ensembles of a monumental nature.
