Course summary

This part-time MA by distance learning provides you with an excellent and wide-ranging course of advanced study and is particularly suitable for those already engaged with archaeology and the heritage sector, or with shared professional interests. The course offers opportunities to build on existing skills and knowledge, while developing intellectual rigour. The course is structured thematically with each module building new skills and knowledge that can then be applied to material that sparks the student’s passion and builds their existing expertise and knowledge further through the assessments.

You will critically explore how archaeologists and heritage practitioners may engage with and interpret archaeological monuments, sites and landscapes for various audiences within ‘public archaeology’, engaging with a range of heritage discourses from Europe, North America, and beyond. The role and value of archaeology in society is critically examined, alongside its intersection with politics and ethics.
