Studying our Degree in Restoration and Conservation in Granada is an unrivalled experience, given the city’s phenomenal history, architecture and museums. The city is home to two UNESCO world heritage sites. Granada’s awe-inspiring and world-renowned Alhambra palace was the last remaining citadel of Moorish rule in Western Europe until its fall in 1492, while the stunning historical quarter known as the Albaicin was once home to the predominantly Moorish communities in Granada. And thanks to the multitude of diverse communities that settled here, Granada itself is one of the most historically and archaeologically rich cities in Western Europe. The UGR’s five campuses, libraries and centre also form an integral part of Granada’s cityscape, some of which are housed in emblematic buildings which date back as far as the XVI century.

Our graduates are highly qualified to work in the fields of research, documentation and teaching. The degree’s core strength lies in its versatility and multidisciplinary nature, a characteristic which is highly valued by employers in today’s current labour market.
