Subsidised (to give a general idea of what this means, for the 2006-2007 academic year the price has been set at 24-28 € per ECTS credit; in anticipation of approval of a Government of Catalonia decree, expected by June 2007, an approximate increase of between 5% and 7% can be calculated for the 2007-2008 academic year). |

That implies having a deep understanding of administrative and legal issues, of the latest technologies used in the field of heritage and of the most successful experiences, as well as having an interdisciplinary approach based on the application of new methods and systems originating in other fields of knowledge (management, human team management, cultural marketing, new ways and means of financing, etc.).
It is specifically aimed at giving professionals and people interested in cultural heritage the conceptual and practical tools required to manage it.
