Course content
Enhance your understanding of Archaeology by region and period, through a combination of taught modules and individual research in this flexible programme.
Renowned for our particular expertise in the British Isles, Europe and the Mediterranean area, our experts teach from the Neolithic through to the Celtic, Roman and Viking periods.
You will be able to critically assess the work of others and of your own, to engage effectively in debate at an advanced level, to plan, design and carry out a coherent research strategy, and to produce detailed and coherent reports and presentations. The wide-range of transferable skills acquired are a particular strength for the pursuit of careers outside of archaeology and the heritage sector.
In addition to our general MA Archaeology programme we offer three pathways to shape your studies. You can choose the pathway that best suits you. The pathway you choose will determine the modules you go on to study.
The three pathways are as follows:
- Early Medieval Society and Culture
- European Neolithic
- Prehistoric Britain.
Information for international students
Applicants whose first language is not English will normally be expected to obtain a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 overall.
