MA/MS in Archaeology

This research master gives early-career archaeologists practical, forward-looking training in archaeological method and theory, shaped around present-day societal issues such as climate change, structural inequality and migration, and including instruction in writing a peer-reviewed article. Archaeological theory can be paired with specialisations such as heritage studies, ethnoarchaeology, archaeometry, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany or human osteology, with access to laboratories, reference collections and staff expertise. Instructors carry out research in regions including southern Africa, the Arctic, the Mediterranean, the Near East and Europe, investigating themes such as societal resilience, climate adaptation, technology, migration and past identities, and structured seminars and tutorials, co-designed with researchers, build skills in laboratory methods, academic writing and outreach.
