ABSTRACT
Accommodating industrial heritage-related educational programmes in the university system is almost as challenging as finding a place for industrial archaeology among the academic disciplines. The Technical University and Mining Academy of Freiberg in Germany offers a master's programme following a bachelor programme in industrial archaeology. University programmes in industrial archaeology propose varied approaches according to their particular priorities, aims and available resources. In the current programme of the Ironbridge Institute in the United Kingdom, heritage management and historic environment conservation have been placed in the centre of post-graduate studies coordinated with the University of Birmingham. Partner universities, preferably outside the developed countries of Europe, such as the National University of Mexico, the Federal University of Technology in Parana or the University of Ouagadougou, learning on the universal heritage of past industrial production is further raised for the master's students of TPTI.
