DEGREE IN HUMANITIES GRADO EN HUMANIDADES

UNIVERSITY OF NAVARRA

A new vision of the Humanities The aim of this degree program is to provide future graduates with a well-rounded, interdisciplinary grounding in the humanities to meet current cultural and social challenges from an international perspective. Knowledge of Western history, the intellectual traditions that have driven and shaped it to the present day, its artistic and cultural modes of expression, as well as knowledge of other cultures, enable a more in-depth understanding of the realities around us through an open-minded, critical approach, and disclose new opportunities for personal and social development. The Degree in Humanities has been designed to ensure that a well-motivated and interested student with a good level of English and/or Spanish may benefit from an innovative study program. We invite you to take a look at the course structure and curriculum to get a better idea of what is on offer. This experience could change your life.

The University of Navarra is a Christian-inspired university established by St. JosemarĂa EscrivĂĄ de Balaguer, the founder of Opus Dei. Its mission is to seek out and communicate the truth, contribute to the academic, cultural and personal advancement of its students, promote scientific research and teaching, offer professors and other employees outstanding opportunities to develop and, prompted by a refined desire to be of service to others, undertake a wide-ranging endeavor of cultural communication and social promotion.

SPECIALIZATION PROGRAMS

Specialization in Culture and Heritage Management

Diploma in Curatorial Studies This academic year (2014- 2015), the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Museum University of Navarra have launched the Diploma in Curatorial Studies (60 ECTS credits) with the aim of training students to become professionals with the humanistic, technical and interdisciplinary skills that will enable them to generate ideas and projects resulting in exhibitions.

This program provides students with an initial specialization in the management of cultural content and activities. Students can choose to broaden their knowledge of history and art or heritage-related matters, or to combine both aspects. The program also includes subjects that provide students with knowledge and skills associated with the funding and marketing of cultural activities and services. This is an official specialization, and students must take 48 ECTS credits.

Diploma in Management This aims to provide basic training in aspects of business management. Students must take a minimum of 24 ECTS credits from a series of subjects taught by the School of Economics and Business Administration. This primarily theory-based training may be supplemented in Third and Fourth Year by undertaking an internship in marketing and human resources departments, and completing the Final Year Project in one of these fields.

Curators are professionals capable of creating artistic projects with a view to communicating and disseminating them to the public. Their fundamental task is to design the project narrative, research its content, suggest new approaches and interpretations, coordinate its implementation and execution, plan educational programs and improve its visibility. When the project is exhibited, curators are also responsible for ensuring that the discourse is visually effective and integrates seamlessly with the space in which it is presented. The Diploma in Curatorial Studies is linked to the teaching projects undertaken by the Museum University of Navarra. Those studying the diploma program will have the opportunity to hold meetings with the art curators of temporary exhibitions, assist with creative projects undertaken by guest artists and converse with these artists. They will have the opportunity to participate in public programming and performing arts activities and attend sessions held by professionals from the areas of conservation, art criticism and the media.
