MPhil in Archaeology

The MPhil in Archaeology allows students to gain a critical appreciation of archaeology, the human past, and its place in the modern world, as well as training in research and analytical skills and expertise in a chosen, specialist area. Our emphasis at the MPhil level is on research-led teaching so that staff and students interact in lectures, seminars, language classes and laboratory-based practicals with the aims of mastering the basics of theory and method, while also engaging students as participants in ongoing research projects.
Students may choose to specialise in any of the following options if available - a check should be made with the Department before application to find out which options are available that year: 

• Archaeology of the Americas
• Egyptian Archaeology
• European Prehistory
• Medieval Archaeology
• Mesopotamian Archaeology
