Learning outcomes
Internship in a professional institution is an essential part of the professionally oriented program, the aim of which is to provide students with access to the key disciplinary structures of "applied art history". Here, students will not only gain personal experience with various real aspects of the discipline, but the corresponding length of practice will enable students to acquire to a significant extent a number of competencies and skills that theoretical teaching could not provide. As part of a targeted professional training focused on the care of cultural heritage and its presentation, students will be able to acquire the following knowledge and skills during internships, which will provide them them sufficient orientation in the areas of their future application: registration, documentation and cataloging of cultural heritage, technical and technological tools of the discipline, methods of restoration and conservation, curatorial and production activities, marketing of cultural activities. These competences will allow students to subsequently obtain qualified positions, especially in heritage conservation bodies and institutions, galleries, museums and other memory institutions, libraries, media, publishing houses and other cultural facilities in the public and private spheres or state and local administration.
The students will connect the knowledge gained from theoretical teaching on the ground of specialized institutions as concrete platforms of applied art history. The basic art history qualification of the students will be systematically related to the relevant practical aspects, according to the specific focus of the individual institutions providing practice.
