On our MRes you'll pursue your own research project and take taught modules to develop your subject knowledge and research skills. Develop the skills for both doctoral study and a future career. You'll broaden your knowledge of archaeology through taught modules to become a confident independent researcher and you’ll complete a major individual research project supervised by a specialist in the field.

We'll consider all potential archaeological subject areas and advise you on viability and the best ways to develop your project designs. Archaeology staff in the Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology are experts in all areas of British and European prehistoric archaeology. We also offer research expertise in Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Byzantine archaeology.
