Overview

Course description

The Biomedical Egyptology programme at The University of Manchester 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 an interest in ancient peoples and civilisations and wish to understand more about their 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.

At CPD and certificate level you will gain an understanding of how the technologies of biomedical Egyptology have, and will, increasingly impact our understanding of how cultures and civilisations changed in this unique geographical setting across three millennia from the Predynastic period.

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.
