Course summary

Our Masters by research degree offers academic independence and the chance to develop your research skills. You'll focus on an individual project and study advanced taught modules relevant to your research topic. As an MA researcher in archaeology, you'll have the opportunity to build expertise in a subject area you're passionate about. We offer programmes in Archaeological Studies and Conservation Studies. Study the human past or develop creative approaches to the conservation of our heritage. The focus of your work will be an independent research project. We provide training and support equipping you with skills in a wide range of research methods to enhance your growing expertise. Your research will culminate in a dissertation of up to 30,000 words. Although there is no required taught component, you can choose to study taught Masters' modules to support your background knowledge or methodological approaches to your research. Your supervisor can advise on the most relevant modules to your degree.
