The PhD in Heritage, Technology and Territory (DPTT) is an advanced training and research programme offered by the Autonomous University of Lisbon and the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar, with academic collaborations on all continents.
O Doutoramento estrutura-se me duas especialidades: Especialidade em Arqueologia, Cultura Material e Comportamento Humano; Especialidade em Património, Tecnologias e Paisagens Culturais. O plano de estudos é consultável em anexo, e comporta 240 ECTS.
The PhD is structured in two specialties: Specialty in Archaeology, Material Culture and Human Behavior; Specialization in Heritage, Technologies and Cultural Landscapes. The study plan can be consulted in the annex and comprises 240 ECTS.
The DPTT is articulated with the programs of the Center for Geosciences, the Techn&Art Center, the UAL Chair in Luso-Brazilian History and Culture and the UNESCO-IPT Chair in Humanities and Cultural Management of the Territory. Doctoral students will be associated with one of the centers.
The PhD programme assumes as a fundamental component the articulation with comparative studies, in various territorial contexts (Europe, Africa, South America, Southeast Asia), developed by the associated research centres. The distance learning model is the most appropriate for the pursuit of a global comparative research program in territories of several continents. In fact, the PhD aims to attract a wide range of potential candidates, at national and international levels, also with a view to future association with international consortia (based on the existing networks in which IPT and UAL participate). Distance learning ensures the highest quality in international multidisciplinary research and attracts students who already have relevant curricular paths, can be involved in research or territorial development projects and seek an advanced academic framework.
Total number of ECTS credits of the curricular units predominantly taught at a distance: 220 (92% at a distance)
The face-to-face component corresponds to 20 ECTS, in the project development seminar in a territorial context, in which doctoral students integrate multidisciplinary research work by teams from the research lines of the CGEO AND TECHN&ART R&D centers, accredited by FCT and associated with the program.
Each PhD student will select one of the ongoing projects in Lisbon, Tomar or Mação, depending on the proximity to their own research focus. The face-to-face sessions will take place in an intensive seminar regime.
The DPTT is an innovative training, in a Distance Learning model that focuses on the relevance of heritage materialities for the dynamics, resilience and sustainability of human societies.
The DPTT privileges the training of theoretically robust staff with critical skills, based on the development of research projects applied to well-defined territorial contexts, which contribute to the development of these territories.
