Admission
The Master’s Degree in Archival Science and Artificial Intelligence (LM-5) is an international program offered entirely in English at the Rieti campus. The course is delivered in a “mixed” mode, which envisages, for activities other than practical and laboratory activities, the delivery by telematic means of a portion of the educational activities, in any case not exceeding two-thirds. Admission to the program is open, and candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree.
Specific curricular requirements will be verified during enrollment.
The course was designed to address the growing demand for specialized training that is not yet fully met by the current regional and national educational offerings. It combines the strengths of traditional training in documentation with the potential of cutting-edge technologies, particularly in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and digital innovation. With its interdisciplinary and international focus, the program aims to provide an innovative pathway for the advanced management of documentary, archival, and manuscript sources, alongside their communication through emerging technologies and AI.
