Masters courses

MA and MSc programmes:

Our courses offer you flexibility and choice, and you’ll have the opportunity to pursue your own interests through a range of optional modules.

All the courses are designed to equip you with valuable employment skills and prepare you for your future career. If you decide to continue your studies and undertake doctoral research, you’ll develop a solid grounding from which you can develop your research.

If you’re seeking to move into an archaeological-related field from a different academic or employment background, our courses and supportive staff will help you realise your ambitions and develop professionally.
