Our MA programme in Archaeology - Human Osteoarchaeology is designed to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of and practical training in human osteoarchaeology: the analysis of human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts. We focus on the explanation of theoretical approaches and methods that can be used to address archaeological research questions using human skeletal data. 

Our teaching consists of both lectures and lab-based practical sessions and you will benefit from the fact that the Department of Archaeology has a long tradition of research and teaching in human osteoarchaeology where you will have the opportunity to engage in discussions with PhD students and staff, both in the classroom and outside. You will have an active role in shaping your own research project.

The taught MA in Human Osteoarchaeology is a one-year, full-time, vocationally-orientated course. This provides both a basis for application in the workplace and an opportunity for you to continue into PhD research.

You will have a Second Class Honours Grade I (60%) in a primary honours degree (NFQ, Level 8) in archaeology.

It is possible for students who have a primary degree in a related subject to undertake a Higher Diploma in Arts (Archaeology). This qualification will enable prospective students to apply for this MA course — it will not, however, grant automatic entry to the MA. 

All applicants will be required to attend for interview.
