Industrial archaeology

Study concept

Industrial archaeology is concerned with the recording, research, interpretation and, to a certain extent, preservation of the material tradition. It is a variant of historical science that bridges technical and economic history research.

The program is aimed at students who are interested in history and have an interdisciplinary orientation. The TU Bergakademie Freiberg works closely with institutions in the field of archives and collections, heritage preservation and museums to provide practical professional skills. With its great industrial and mining history, Saxony offers an ideal environment for historical and interdisciplinary teaching and research.
