This MA Archaeology and Heritage offers you hands-on training grounded in the latest theories and techniques. It meets the need for work-based professional training in archaeology and will help you understand how contemporary archaeologists think, draw and write about archaeology and heritage. You can take advantage of the expertise of our world-leading academics who draw directly on ethical and inclusive research and work practices in archaeology and heritage studies.
We will introduce you to the major techniques, principal bodies of evidence, research themes and concepts of archaeology and heritage studies. We explore the perceived divide between theory and practice in archaeological fieldwork and cultural resource management. This course aims to develop a new kind of professional: one who is theoretically aware but also grounded in the craft. In doing so, the course will also develop your capacity for interdisciplinary, innovative research, based on the critical, integrated study of landscape, architecture and material culture.
Our MA Archaeology and Heritage provides you with a variety of option modules from the ancient to the contemporary, and from Europe to Asia and beyond. We offer an archaeological field school on the Thames foreshore, with Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA), and the potential for a supervised work placement in a museum. You will also develop the research skills and knowledge needed to design and write a dissertation on a specialist subject, under the supervision of one of our academic experts, in order to best prepare you for the next step in your academic career, or a profession in the heritage sector and beyond.
A second-class honours degree (2:2 or above) in a humanities subject. We offer a one-year Graduate Certificate in History, which can be used as a conversion course if you want to study at postgraduate level but have a degree in a significantly different discipline.
