Overview

This Archaeology programme at University College Cork is a full-time course over one academic year during which you will take modules in archaeology to the equivalent of 60 credits. The course is made up of modules from the second and third-year courses in the undergraduate BA degree. This means you will be able to take courses across Irish prehistory, the medieval and post-medieval period, and a range of methods, ranging from bioarchaeology and osteoarchaeology to palaeo-environmental archaeology, palynology and wetland archaeology.

Why Choose This Course

The Diploma is a conversion course that will allow graduates in other disciplines to study archaeology. It is designed for those who require a conversion course to apply for postgraduate studies in archaeology in UCC, such as the one-year MA course or the MPhil/PhD research degree. Completion of the Higher Diploma course does not guarantee a place on a postgraduate course. You are required to achieve a mark of 60% in the final diploma award to be eligible for postgraduate studies in archaeology.
