The course is organised with the aim of training students to plan and carry out conservation and restoration on stone. The course is organised so that it follows a plan that is consistent with how a conservation project is developed and carried out. The student must have the knowledge and ability to understand the individual theoretical aspects of the discipline learned through lectures, visits and external excursions, group discussions; must have the knowledge and ability to use methods, techniques and equipment learned through lectures, individual and group exercises; must have an autonomy of judgment stimulated by reading and knowledge of the work in question and by the application of technical practices and methodologies gained through lectures, external visits and excursions, individual and group exercises; they will also have to achieve communication skills with involvement in discussions and comparisons or individual interventions on the status of the work carried out, supported by IT means. The ability to learn will be taken care of with targeted exercises and tests. Students will be given responsibilities such as such is liaising with the library staff, administration of lesson materials, taking care of equipment and conservation materials, photographic documentation, liaising with the scientific laboratories and disposal of waste. Apart from widening their knowledge base, this will help the students to get to know other teaching staff and students in other courses.
Students will be encouraged to develop a team spirit and to collaborate with their classmates
