INTERNATIONAL MA-COURSE
CLUE-VU University Amsterdam Royal Netherland Institute in Rome (KNIR)
Course content
The course is a joint initiative of the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR) and CLUE, the master Heritage Studies at VU University Amsterdam. It is open for credit to students from the Netherlands and abroad, up to a number of 20 postgraduate (or master) students.
Rome is one of the oldest cities in Europe and its cultural heritage embodies classical and modern ideals, which have left their imprint on the city. But its appearance and structure are also shaped by the daily realities typical of an ever expanding Mediterranean metropolis. Rome is a city of contrasts where old and new, past and present, come together and sometimes clash.
