Overview

During this 11-month taught master's degree at the University of Oxford you will specialise in a particular area of archaeology, and will follow a subject stream, which will comprise four modules and a dissertation.

Key Features

The MSc in Archaeology allows subject specialisation, but also flexibility, by combining core modules with an option module, and topics chosen for your dissertation and summative pre-set essays.
