The Cultural Heritage Studies program at Central European University (CEU) combines theoretical approaches to cultural heritage with practical knowledge through fieldwork and internships at heritage organizations. The result is hands-on, thorough academic training that prepares future heritage experts and practitioners with a critical understanding of the historical, social, policy and management aspects of tangible, intangible and environmental heritage.

The faculty’s expertise crosses borders and disciplines. They include historians and archeologists with experience in European and Asian projects, international critical heritage experts involved in EU projects and anthropologists specializing in African and European cultures.

CEU students come from a variety of backgrounds, such as historical studies, creative and performing arts, architecture and urban development, sociology and management.
