Program details
Overview
If you decide to follow the track Digital Archaeology and Heritage, you'll focus on current digital methods and techniques in archaeology and their application in the field of cultural heritage. This track covers core digital methods and theory, including 3D visualization and virtual reconstruction, as well as advanced spatial analysis and data science. The small-scale setting of the MA programme provides the ideal setting to combine theory and practice.
Theory meets practice in this unique Archaeology programme that’s offered jointly by VU Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam. You’ll benefit from a strong theoretical focus as well as practice-oriented modules in which you’ll interpret field data and study archaeological materials first-hand. The specialisation in Digital Archaeology has several possibilities to do an internship, for example at the UvA’s 4DR lab.
