MSc In Archaeology - All Modules/Streams

The MSc in Archaeology allows subject specialisation, but also flexibility, by combining core modules with your option module, and topics chosen for your dissertation and summative essays. The dissertation allows you to develop a larger piece of research in which you can more fully explore a topic. It will allow you to develop your research skills and undertake self-directed and independent research that is a necessary basis for future doctoral research, and highly desirable in non-academic employment.

You will take the mandatory Archaeological Principles: Data & Theory in Michaelmas term as well as two core modules offered within your stream, one List A taught in the Michaelmas term, and the other from List B taught in the Hilary term. The fourth module is your option module (also from List B), also taught in the Hilary term; this is chosen from all available List B modules in any stream, or a module from the MSt in Classical Archaeology.

To note:

In some circumstances a subject taught in the MSc in Archaeological Science may be taken as your option module, however this is taught over Michaelmas AND Hilary term.

Not all modules are offered in all years. All offer holders will be advised of modules running in the year of entry as soon as possible (typically over the summer period prior to their arrival) and will be invited to submit provisional option choices by the end of September to aid initial meetings with supervisors.
