Archaeological Science (MSc)

Scientific methodology is an important approach in modern archaeology and it is at the heart of archaeological science. Hypotheses, data, theory, experiments, observations, as well as presentation and interpretation, are all key to our understanding of our past.

The programme gives you the freedom to choose your own focus based on your own interests. You may study archaeobotany and archaeozoology, or prefer to dive into human osteoarchaeology. You may rather explore material culture, or further develop your skills in computational archaeology. All of these choices can be combined with lectures on specific regions or time periods. After graduation you are thus an expert in the field of your choice, in relation to a specific area.

For your thesis you will receive supervision by one of more of our staff members. By enrolling in Archaeological Science you will be guaranteed a supervisor within this specialisation. Please note, however, that it may not be possible to work with the supervisor and on the topic of your choice.
