Masters Degrees in Archaeology

We have 152 Masters Degrees in Archaeology

Masters degrees in Archaeology focus on uncovering, interpreting and preserving material human history. You could learn how to discover new sites and artefacts, or pursue new insights into famous objects and their stories. This subject often overlaps with areas of the Humanities such as History and Classics. However, some programmes draw on advanced scientific techniques for excavating and identifying artefacts.

Popular postgraduate specialisms and related subjects include Cultural Archaeology, Archaeology of Buildings and Field Archaeology, as well as the Archaeology of specific regions, such Egypt or the Mediterranean.

Why study a Masters in Archaeology?

Unsurprisingly, the specialist skills you acquire with an Archaeology Masters will equip you well for associated professional roles. These are more diverse than you might assume. For every archaeologist excavating materials on site there are several more planning excavations or analysing finds in museums or laboratories around the world.

Other job opportunities for postgraduate archaeologists can be found in associated areas such as museums and heritage industries. Don't forget that you'll also develop strong transferable skills in project management, critical thinking and analysis. All of these are valuable in a wide range of career paths.
