Teaching
Teaching in art law has multiplied with the establishment at the beginning of the fall semester 2012-2013 of the UNESCO Chair in international cultural heritage law under the supervision of Professor Marc-André Renold. A general course titled "Art Law and Cultural Property: Swiss aspects, comparative and international" is open to students at the Faculty of Law on a Bachelor level, in the course of the Certificate in Transnational Law (CDT) and to exchange students. Moreover, a more specific course entitled "The law of archeology and museums: Swiss and International Aspects" is aimed at students of the Faculty of Arts. International law aspects in art and cultural property are elaborated in the context of a course given to students in Law or Arts during the spring semester.
In addition to the regular courses, the Centre organises seminars for advanced learners of art-law. In addition, we are pleased to announce the opening of the new CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) « International Cultural Heritage Law »
