Location of University of Kent, Canterbury Campus
Each research student is assigned two internal supervisors who arrange the programme of study and research to suit individual interests.
The School has extensive literary holdings and many other facilities to support active research, and the Templeman Library also has excellent holdings in all our areas of research interest. This includes an extensive range of English and foreign periodicals, as well as specialist collections (the library of A S L Farquharson, specialising in the age of Marcus Aurelius, and generous donations from the libraries of Victor Ehrenburg in ancient social history, Anthony Snodgrass and Richard Reece in archaeology). We have access to Canterbury Cathedral Library, and to archaeological libraries and collections in Canterbury and other centres in Kent, and first-rate connections with London and continental Europe.
Kent is now the home of the Renfrew archive and collection, a major resource for research on the history of archaeology, archaeological theory, prehistoric Orkney and the Aegean Bronze Age.
The Section has its own technician (Lloyd Bosworth), who is widely experienced and skilled in landscape archaeology and geophysical surveying; he supports staff research and project work.
The University of Kent's location is highly convenient for students who need to visit not only the British Library and other specialist libraries in London, but also the major libraries and research centres within Europe.
