Course description
Our distance learning programme in biomedical Egyptology is the first course of its kind to offer the opportunity to combine the study of ancient Egypt with modern biomedical techniques in a format you can study at your own pace.
If you have a fascination for ancient peoples and civilisations, wish to understand more about human biology, anatomy, disease and medicine, this course is for you. You will learn how to unravel the enthralling secrets of ancient history using the latest technology
The course is delivered by members of the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology , an internationally-leading research centre with a long history in applying technologies such as imaging, nucleic acid analysis, proteomics, histology and related techniques to probe the biology of tissues retrieved from Egyptological sites.
The data derived from these studies has led to a transformation in how the ethnography, relationships, culture, diseases and medicine of people from the 30th century BC to the first century of the Common Era are viewed. The diploma allows a much greater understanding to be acquired and the full master's degree gives you the opportunity to undertake a piece of primary research that will set you apart as an expert in the field.
