Course content
Course description
Each pathway provides a route into advanced study either for students with general interests (archaeology) or more focused interests (landscape or heritage).
You'll create a bespoke course within a clear structure that allows you to engage your specific interests in period, region or approach while building on a strong foundation of understanding archaeology as a discipline.
For all of these, you’ll choose between completing a research dissertation or developing employability through a work placement.
You’ll develop the professional and transferable skills you need to progress to a career in this field. This course is excellent preparation for a PhD.
MA students
You'll also choose your own research project and complete a dissertation, or go on a work placement and complete a report as part of your placement experience.Please see our University website for the most up-to-date information: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/courses
