This course has been developed to allow students from different backgrounds to develop their interests in the archaeology of the period from the decline of the Roman Empire to the Renaissance.
This period of time saw the collapse of many of the institutions of Europe and their replacement by mostly Germanic kingdoms, as well as the transformation of Eastern Europe into a Byzantine state. During this time, Christianity grew as a unifying force in Europe and moved into conflict with the new kingdoms of Islam. Most of these important events in the development of European life have left some traces in the archaeological record.
If you have some prior awareness both of the period and of archaeology in general, together with a proven ability at degree level in at least one of the component subject areas - Archaeology, History, Ancient History, Geography or English Studies - then this would be an ideal second degree. It can be regarded as an ideal second degree if you wish to pursue the 1-year MA + 3 years by research suggested by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
