Overview
Key facts:

You will also have the opportunity to take specific modules and design and complete an MSc Dissertation so as to specialise in particularly chronological or cultural periods (e.g. Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age/Roman, Early Medieval, Medieval, Historical/Post-Medieval). You will complete your MSc Dissertation on a chosen topic, supervised by an expert in the field.
Programme Structure
- The MSc in Archaeology will be taught by UCD School of Archaeology experts working at the cutting edge of current research on past societies, their landscapes, things and times. You will explore and investigate how archaeologists investigate the past through seminars and practical projects and you will benefit from the School’s excellent field facilities and laboratories.
- The MSc programme (90 credits) is structured around a series of core modules with thematic options. The 30 credits of core modules comprise three 10-credit specialist modules in Material Culture (10 credits), Landscape Archaeologies: Reconstructing, Imagining, Writing (10 credits) and Archaeological Field Methods (10 credits). These modules provide you with the critical and reflective skills required to understand how archaeologists analyse and interpret prehistoric objects, sites, bodies, monuments and landscapes.
