Course Summary

Careers

Our programme develops your specific competences and research skills required in Roman Archaeology at an advanced level through extensive engagement with primary evidence. You will also acquire advanced competence in core academic, personal and key skills, to provide a solid basis for career progression in the academic world of doctoral research or for a specialist career.

Skills

Of course doctoral study is not the only option available to you, you will graduate with a full range of skills that will make you competitive in the job market. You will be encouraged to become a productive, useful and questioning member of society.

You will be well placed to go onto work in either Archaeology or the wider Heritage Sector.

Modules

The dissertation is a self-contained study based on your own research, counting for 60 credits. It offers you the chance to undertake research and present the results at greater length than you have had in other parts of your course. You will need to work out a topic to study, in conjunction with a potential supervisor, and to establish how you will set about answering the questions posed (i.e. a methodology). The choice of topic is your own; it is important to choose something that offers good possibilities for developing an independent piece of work. While there is no requirement that the topic is ?original?, in the sense that a PhD must be original, it must obviously not be something where you can simply copy from a few basic texts. You need to work out your own approach; we encourage students to collect and analyse their own data in the field or the laboratory, though library-based studies are also possible.
