INTRODUCTION
Our MSc offers the unique opportunity to benefit from two institutions specialisms as your programme will be delivered by University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University in collaboration.
Liverpool John Moores University will help you gain expertise in the human fossil record, ancient DNA / proteomics and Neanderthal archaeology / spatial analysis. You will benefit from dedicated laboratory facilities for osteological analyses and practical field training in the excavation and recording of human skeletal remains. Liverpool John Moores Universitys collaboration with The Poulton Trust will provide you with access to archaeological sites with burials and large skeletal collections for practical training.
University of Liverpool will provide you with expertise in the early archaeological records of Africa and Eurasia, archaeological and evolutionary theory, as well as ecological, environmental, and climate change modelling. We have dedicated facilities and support staff for undertaking materials analysis linked to experimental archaeology and 3D modelling. The Professor Elizabeth Slater Laboratories for Archaeological Science provide analytical tools including scanning electron microscopy [SEM-EDX], a visualisation suite for 3D modelling of artefacts, and microscopes for use-wear analysis of stone tools.
Through the research-led teaching on our MSc you will be fully involved in the human evolution research community, and will learn about the latest theoretical orientations, methods, and discoveries.
An upper 2:1 undergraduate degree in Archaeology, Anthropology, Biology or related subject. Past practical experience will also be considered as an alternative, on a case-by-case basis. We are able to offer a level of flexibility for applicants. Those with a 2:2 honours degree will be considered on an individual basis.
