Program Overview

Program Description:

This multi-disciplinary program is offered by The Cyprus Institutes' Science and Technology in Archaeology Research Center (STARC). It promotes excellence and educates students in the integration between technological, computer and social sciences and humanities, keeping in mind that "Heritage", at its most broad definition, deals with anything individuals in a given society decide it is important for them to preserve and transmit to further generation. The doctoral program is highly selective and is designed for research oriented students aspiring to become leaders in their respective field of study. This doctoral program is the first one that would reflect on the process of transforming the gathered data into information and its further metamorphosis into knowledge appropriate for Cultural Heritage. The program provides the necessary educational setting where excellence in education and research are fostered through interdisciplinary collaboration on regional problems of global significance.
