If you are intending to continue on to advanced research in Archaeology, leading to a PhD qualification once you have completed your Masters degree, then this course is the ideal second degree to provide you with the necessary skills and training.

By choosing this course, you will also be able to pursue the research model (1 year MA + 3 years research) suggested by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

This course offers you the flexibility to tailor its content to reflect your personal interests and research topic.

Compared to other taught Masters courses in the Department, the dissertation forms the larger part of this course and can contribute to your subsequent PhD. Naturally, this course is particularly suitable if you wish to specialise in one of the areas of staff expertise.

Key facts
* The Department of Archaeology offers cutting-edge equipment – including the fully equipped Bioarchaeology Laboratory - and facilities for the scientific analyses of ancient inorganic materials;
* The University Museum housing archaeological finds is based in the Department
* This course is taught within a thriving department that attracts academic and research staff from around the world.


Contents

You will be given a strong foundation in the skills and techniques necessary for effective research by completing a compulsory core module in Research Methods and Methodology.

In addition, you can choose from a range of approved modules within the Archaeology department, as well as special subjects designed to reflect your research needs, and Masters modules offered by other departments.

If you find that there are certain undergraduate modules that would provide you with particular skills that you need for your research, you also have the flexibility to take these modules.

Finally, the taught components of the course will lead to and reinforce your individual dissertation, which will be between 20,000 and 25,000 words in length.
