Archaeological Practice (MA)

This MA has been developed for Archaeology graduates and other students who wish to become archaeological practitioners in the field. It is designed specifically to allow these students to acquire practical skills in handling and interpreting post-excavation materials. A key aspect of the program is its hands-on approach, with handling exercises and laboratory-based learning. This is thoroughly embedded within a theoretical framework appropriate to current archaeological interpretation, which provides students with the skills to present the archaeological material in a variety of media to diverse audiences.

In Part One, each module is worth 30 credits and in addition to the one compulsory module, students have a choice from the list of optional modules noted below.

In Part Two, students are given the opportunity to research in detail a topic which has particularly appealed to them and write an extended dissertation (for 60 credits). Students will be allocated a supervisor to help guide them through their dissertations.
