ARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND HERITAGE
In 2006, an independent Department of Heritage (headed by Prof. Mitja Guštin,
PhD) was formed at the Faculty of Humanities within the Department of History,
renamed Department of Archaeology and Heritage in 2012 (headed by Prof. Irena
Lazar, PhD). In 2006, the department started implementing the Bologna study pro-
gram Cultural Heritage at the 1st level and had offered a wide range of education
for under- and postgraduate levels in archaeology and protection and promotion of
cultural heritage in a broader sense.
The 1st cycle programme Cultural Heritage (initially the Heritage of Europe and the
Mediterranean) was very innovative and the first of its kind thus was the subject of
great attention and was presented in several publications, including Argo and Studia
Universitatis Hereditati journals. Within the Department of Archaeology and Her-
itage of the UP FH and in cooperation with other faculties, the education of cultural
heritage at the Faculty of Humanities further expanded and upgraded to the 2nd cy-
cle within the joint study programme Heritage Tourism with FT Turistica. In 2019, in
addition to the doctoral study programme Archaeology, the department also took
over the implementation of the doctoral programme Management of Cultural As-
sets and Archivistics (headed by Assist. Prof. Zrinka Mileusnić, PhD).
The Cultural Heritage study program is the only study program of its kind in Slove-
nia; it is designed to be distinctly interdisciplinary and connect basic scientific fields
such as archaeology, history, art history, and ethnology. Additional study content
also extends to the field of conservation, museology, interpretation, and heritage
management.
The double-major study programme Archaeology, the 2nd cycle study programme
Archaeological Heritage of the Mediterranean and Archaeology (PhD programme)
are designed to be contemporary and open towards the international sphere. It
is distinguished by numerous Slovene and foreign visiting professors as well as the
possibility for students to join various research projects at home and abroad.
A special feature of the undergraduate study programmes is the dual-subject mode
that enables students to acquire knowledge in two professional fields and who con-
