* PgDip: 9 months full-time; 18 months part-time
The core courses provide a grounding in key archaeological principles that include
Practice: how we do archaeology, approaches to the discovery, excavation, recording and analysis of archaeological sites, and the organisation and structure of archaeology in the UK.
Theory: the development of archaeological thinking, theoretical and interpretive frameworks used by archaeologists, and the ethical responsibilities of archaeologists.
In undertaking this programme you will be encouraged to engage in practical activity, including fieldtrips in Scotland and beyond, and optional modules will allow further opportunities for site visits and lab work.
The optional courses offer specialist paths that allow you to explore particular areas of study in more detail. You can chose three optional modules from a list of relevant courses associated with other MLitt/PgDip degrees offered in Archaeology and more widely across the University. These courses draw upon the particular interests and expertise of the contributing staff and the options available may therefore vary slightly depending on staff availability.
You will produce a dissertation on a topic agreed between you and your convener. This research project is undertaken between May and September with the support of a member of staff who will act as supervisor.
