Scientific analysis plays an important role in the study of archaeological materials. This MSc integrates teaching in materials science and the archaeology of technology with practical training in the instrumental analysis of archaeological and heritage objects. Students design and implement materials characterisation projects that address key archaeological questions, while developing transferable skills in project management and data analysis.
This degree bridges the gap between data generated by materials science and broader archaeological questions about human behaviour. Students will be introduced to critical concepts of both disciplines and learn the foundations of the major instrumental techniques. By the degree’s conclusion, students will have the knowledge and experience to independently design, implement, and report archaeologically meaningful materials characterisation studies.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of one core module (15 credits), five optional modules (75 credits) and a research dissertation (90 credits).
Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MSc in Archaeological Science: Technology and Materials.
