Course summary

This Masters programme will enable you to develop your own holistic approach to the challenges of contemporary archaeological research and practice. The programme combines conceptual learning with independent research and project-based work. A key strength of this programme is its flexibility, which allows you to create a portfolio of courses based on your individual needs and interests. This programme allows you to follow a pre-composed theme such as Landscape Archaeology, Digital Archaeology, or Celtic and Viking Archaeology or create your own flexible degree programme by selecting from optional courses across Archaeology and related programmes. This structure encourages interdisciplinary work integrated with core training in archaeological theory and methods, including training in archaeological sciences, and supports practice-based learning through Archaeology’s collections and courses.Teaching will be delivered through field trips, the Archaeology research seminar series, and through courses in which you develop written work, portfolios, practice-based and practical assignments and oral presentations. An independent research project in the form of a dissertation, undertaken in the summer semester, is an integral part of the programme.Graduates will have a solid foundation of skills, knowledge and understanding from which to pursue careers in universities, research institutes, government agencies, conservation charities and private-sector professional practice. The course also prepares you to proceed to study for a PhD in Archaeology.
