Course Summary

This programme is designed to help you build not just an advanced understanding of the field, but the real-world, professional skills you'll need for a rewarding career in archaeology and related sectors. Take advantage of hands-on, practical training with deeper exploration of the theories and methods that shape the discipline today. Develop research and industry-ready skills in areas like field investigation, archaeobotany, zooarchaeology, soil micromorphology and osteoarchaeology, all skills that employers are actively looking for. What makes this programme truly special is the chance to learn in Orkney, a place of extraordinary archaeological significance. Here, the landscape itself becomes your laboratory, giving you unparalleled opportunities to gain practical experience while working on some of the world’s most iconic archaeological sites.As part of the course, you’ll also have the chance to complete a 60-credit placement, giving you valuable on-the-ground experience in a professional setting. Or, if you prefer, you can opt for a research-based dissertation that’s firmly rooted in vocational skills and industry relevance. If you’re looking for a course that’s as practical as it is inspiring, and that opens doors to the archaeology career you’ve been dreaming of, we’d love to have you join us.
