Protection ,Conservation and Restoration

• f Cultural Monuments

Interdepartmental Program of Post Graduate Studies

Faculty of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki April 2014

Alexandra Alexopoulou, Assos. Professor, Director of IPPS

The Interdepartmental Program of Postgraduate Studies «Protection conservation and Restoration of Cultural Monuments» founded and started functioning since 1998-99 academic year with the participation of the six Schools of the Faculty of Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki ::

• School of Architecture
• School of Civil Engineering
• School of Rural and Surveying Engineering
• School of Mechanical Engineering
• School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
• School of Chemical Engineering

• From its inception in 1998 until 2004 the IPPS functioned within the framework of the

Operational Program “Education and Initial Professional Training” (EPEAEK) under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Education.\

• This initial EPEAK funding provided the opportunity for the Program to be equipped

with high technology instruments and specialized books. These funds were also allocated for the completion of the Program’s building infrastructure.

project for Chalki

The Program was headed by the following AUTh Professors:

• 1998-2005 Xanthippi Skarpia-Heupel
• 2005-2007 Georgios Karadedos
• 2007-2009 Kallirroi Palyvou
• 2009-2012 Aimilia Stefanidou
• 2012+

The Evaluation of the Program was designed to include two stages:

• The first stage of the evaluation was conducted by Greek and foreign distinguished

scholars and scientists, specialized on the subject of the program. The Program was awarded high grade and very positive comments.

• The second evaluation stage is conducted biannually by the Program’s students

who fill in written questionnaire, submitted upon the completion of their course.

Aims and Objectives of the Program

• The promotion of knowledge in the specific field.
• The formation of a field of scientific interchange among disciplines
• The development of research in related scientific fields.
• To cover the needs at postgraduate level of trained administrative or

technical members of production units and of new specialized scientists.

There are two directions in the Program: Direction A: Protection, Conservation and Restoration of Architectural Monuments Direction B: Protection, Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art and Mechanisms

Οι ειδικοί στόχοι των Κατευθύνσεων είναι: Direction A: Protection, Conservation and Restoration of Architectural Monuments

The specific aims of the Direction, are the provision of special training, complementary to degree studies, and of specialist knowledge of both theoretical and practical nature, for : the study, conservation, restoration and rebuilding of architectural monuments and areas of archaeological sites; the protection and restoration of traditional dwellings, historic town centres, historic places and places of outstanding natural beauty

Direction B: Protection, Conservation and Restoration

• f Works of Art and Mechanisms

The specific aims of the direction, are the provision of special training, complementary to degree studies, and of specialist knowledge of both theoretical and practical nature, for : restoration and protection of works of art and mechanisms of artistic or historic value.

V. Graduation Thesis The duration of the course for both directions is three semesters.

Ι. Courses:

Direction A : obligatory courses (11) elective courses (24) Direction B : obligatory courses (23)

Theoretical and lab courses are thought by teaching stuff of Faculty of Engineering and other schools of AUTh and by visiting scientists working in various Institutes, and research centers in Greece and abroad. The Interdisciplinary Laboratory studies a particular topic related to the restoration and re use of historic building and building complexes.

Graduation

Postgraduate Postmaster Diploma

Since 1998 there have been 1382 applications and 353 admissions (both directions). Two hundred and seventy two students have graduated to date In addition, the program’s output to date includes thirteen Doctoral Theses Approximately 190 graduates are currently employed in organizations and public entities relevant to their postgraduate specialization

Selection procedure of postgraduate students

The special Interdepartmental Committee determines on the publication date of the announcement to interested parties. This announcement includes: 1. Necessary entry requirements 2. Application submission date 3. The number of available openings 4. The Program entry evaluation proceedings

New announcement: March 2016

A maximum of 40 students in total are admitted to the Program’s two offered specialization directions

Student evaluation is conducted in two phases:

• There is a first preliminary phase. Evaluation criteria and corresponding weight coefficients are

(out of a maximum of 100 points to be accumulated):

• The second evaluation phase consists of an interview of candidates who have successfully

passed the first evaluation phase.

• First phase grading is weighted with a coefficient of 0.8 (80%) while second phase grading is

attributed a weight of 0.2 (20%). The combined grading results of both phases, leads to a list

• f final candidates deemed eligible to attend the program.
