This MSc provides participants with a theoretical understanding of research questions and methodologies in the study of past human-environment interactions, including subsistence and subsistence change. The Institute of Archaeology has a long research and training tradition in environmental archaeology, and has well-established laboratory facilities and reference collections as a result.

Students gain practical experience in laboratory analysis of at least one of either: identification of animal bones, identification of plant macro-remains, micromorphological and sedimentological analyses. They develop an understanding of formation processes and their implications for developing sampling strategies, and are trained to collect and analyse data and report scientific results.

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The programme consists of two core modules (30 credits), optional modules (60 credits) and a research dissertation (90 credits).

Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MSc in Environmental Archaeology.
