The program in "Landscape Architecture - Land Landscape Heritage" integrates technical, natural and agronomical sciences, as well as historical, cultural and social studies. The program is based on design studios and lectures on current themes such as the design of soil and of public open spaces, of the urban and rural landscape, preservation of landscape heritage, regeneration of derelict areas, sustainable tourism and hydrogeological risk prevention.

The program is offered by the School of Historical Studies (SHS). The School is a dynamic community of faculty members and graduate students, engaged in a systematic and rigorous inquiry into some of the fundamental questions that concern historical experiences within and beyond Asia. The School draws its inspiration from the glorious legacy of ancient Nālandā which served as a conduit for India’s vibrant intellectual linkages with the world for nearly a millennium. As is evident from the research profiles of its faculty, SHS is uniquely poised to train students in the cultural, religious, and intellectual history of India and other regions of Asia from a comparative and cross-cultural perspective.

The invaluable and varied built heritage of Peru, which is more than 14,000 years old, developed in different geographical contexts, with diverse materials, techniques, and construction systems, is in latent danger of being lost, both due to the fact that our country is highly seismic and with a long history of natural disasters, such as because in the last 50 years, it has been affected by economic, social and political conditions, which has obvious repercussions on its conservation. Historic areas and centers nationwide, containers of urban environments, and monuments are potential work areas. It is necessary and possible to manage projects to enable private and public investments, aimed at recovering the quality of life of its population and the conservation of its built heritage.

The Master of Science in Historic Preservation (MSHP) is a 45 credit hour program, usually completed in 15 or 18 months (three regular semesters and possibly part or all of one summer).
