Why choose this course?
Course Overview
This unique multidisciplinary masters degree allows students to study a wide variety of subjects drawing from the following fields: Near Eastern and Aegean Archaeology, Ancient History, Egyptology, Celtic Studies, Chinese Studies, the Old Testament, gender studies, religion, and iconography.
No previous knowledge of the ancient world is required for this programme, drawing as it does from a variety of different disciplines and intellectual approaches.
In Part One each module is worth 30 credits and in addition to the compulsory module HPAH7011 Theory and Methodology students have a choice from the list of optional modules noted below (one of which has to be drawn from the first three modules).
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). They will be allocated a supervisor to help guide them through their dissertations.
Career Opportunities
This programme is ideal for those who want to learn more about the ancient world, but there are also some more practical module choices to help students improve their job prospects.
Many of the students who undertake the course on a part-time basis are already in employment and wish to gain a postgraduate qualification as a possible means to promotion or change of job role.
Former students include journalists, writers, storytellers, teachers, lecturers, editors and people who work in the tourist or heritage industries.
Applicants are expected to have a good first degree (a first or upper second), although every application is considered in its own merit, so places may be offered on the basis of professional qualification and relevant experiences. Candidates with a lower degree classification or no degree may be admitted at Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma level, with an opportunity to upgrade to Master’s level if satisfactory progress is made.
