Postgraduate studies
There is a vibrant community of Masters (MA, MRes) and research students (MPhil, PhD) in the Department of Archaeology.
The Department runs two Masters programmes and is a partner with the Department of History in a third, while there are currently 15 students researching MPhil/PhD degrees.
Masters programmes
Masters programmes running within Archaeology (and also jointly with History) include vocational, research preparation and conventional taught programmes. They are:
A Masters course examining how archaeological and other heritage sites, as well as artefact collections, are studied and managed. The programme takes an overtly international approach and includes the study of both museology and international heritage law.
A Masters programme that is intended to prepare students for research at MPhil/PhD level. Students devote most of their time to researching and writing an extended dissertation, but also take modules in various aspects of research methodology.
A traditional humanities-based Archaeology Masters degree, focussing on approaches to studying archaeology at the level of the locality or region. This programme is administered by the Department of History.
Students may enroll on MPhil/PhD degrees and research any topic in which the Department has staff expertise.
