Since 2003, the Department of History, Archaeology and Cultural Resources Management harmonizes the traditional sciences of History and Archaeology with the contemporary scientific field of Cultural Administration, thus having become the first academic department in Greece that combined these sciences at the undergraduate level.

Widely interdisciplinary, the Department guides students into an exploration of the past in order for them to gain better understanding of the present and the significant role of sustainable administration in the handling of tangible and intangible cultural resources.

Informed theoretical and methodological perspectives as well as field-work enhance the programmes’ educational and research impact. The cutting-edge profile of the Department is further supported by the Laboratories of Archaeometry, Maritime Archaeology and Modern and Contemporary History, while it benefits from the University Museum and Teaching Collection.

Accordingly, the Department offers students a solid basis of theoretical (knowledge), methodological (tools), and practical (skills) expertise, that will enable them to live up to the challenges of today’s cultural and academic scene, and capitalize on its perspectives.
