Our Master's in Archaeology inspires you to think about the human past from a variety of thematic and analytical perspectives.


Join our Master's in Archaeology and immerse yourself in a region rich with prehistoric, Roman, medieval, and post-medieval heritage.


Experience a dynamic learning environment with field trip opportunities that bring our rich archaeological landscape to life, and engage directly with archaeology through visits to our on-campus museum, Great North Museum: Hancock, which houses world-class collections that are essential to your learning experience.

You'll join a vibrant archaeology community at Newcastle and receive specialist teaching from leading academics in subjects of their research expertise.


Throughout the course you'll have opportunities to engage and learn about our innovative research.
