The MRes in Archaeology is for researchers and practitioners, who are passionate about developing specialised skills in archaeology.

The programme is tailored to your interests. You can choose from a wide range of modules, focusing on areas that captivate you and match your interest and trajectory.

The curriculum emphasizes practical and research skills, allowing you to engage deeply with your chosen topics.

You will have mentorship from an academic within your area of interest and guidance from a personal academic tutor - these connections will shape research projects and practical training.

The course has a core professional development module, and a large component of supervised research project work; it will prepare you for the demands of the industry and academia.

You will be poised for success in the archaeological and heritage sectors, benefiting from high demand for a broad range of specialised skills. Opportunities include advanced research positions, PhD programmes, and roles in heritage research conservation and management.

This course addresses the UK's national shortage of archaeological professionals, opening doors to impactful and rewarding careers.
