The Art and Patrimony Program by the University of Seville, regulated by the RD 99/2011 and integrated into the International Doctoral School of the University of Seville (EIDUS), emerges from the necessity to continue and secure the now consolidated investigated trajectory developed by this Center on the fields of Fine Arts and the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Assets, on which these count with the historical conditions of the doctorate programs taught since 1991 (regulated by RD 778/1998 and RD 1393/2007), with a significant social recognition and a considerable international demand.

The goal to achieve with the Doctoral Program on Art and Patrimony is to continue giving an education that deals with theory-practice and methodology for the investigation on the fields of artistic creation and of the preservation and restoration of Cultural Assets, dealing with a changing outlook and the evolution on which these classical areas of competence for the Fine Arts (Paint, Sculpture, Drawing) and the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Assets, these have been transformed and adapted to the reality of artistic production just like its management and treatment for its transmission looking forward to future generations.

This Doctoral Program has the purpose for educating doctors on these two described fields, on which the students will be able to obtain theoretical, technical and methodological knowledge necessary for the advanced investigation. Implemented by the leading means for the student to obtain the necessary competence and ability to be able to accomplish independent investigation projects (planification, experiment design, data analysis, interpretation of results and also the communication and spreading of these).

The Doctoral Program, with a conceptual and methodological base, has as a main goal that the student should be able to acquire the capacity to go in depth into his/her education and to boost the development of an original investigation that leads to the completion of a doctoral thesis, which will also allow the student to obtain the Doctor Title by the University of Seville and, in this case, the International Doctorate mention.
