This MRes provides a personalised and focused introduction to postgraduate research. It will enable you to develop into an independent researcher and produce an original research project, supported by an expert in archaeology.
The programme provides intensive preparation for doctoral research and your future career. We’ll guide you through the research process, equipping you with transferable skills, including critical thinking, project management, written and verbal communication, and problem solving.
Training in research methodologies will be tailored to archaeology and your specific research proposal. You’ll co-design a bespoke reading list and individual assessment tasks in preparation for a substantial piece of research.
You’ll discover how to design a research proposal, identify relevant evidence and sources, plan and undertake the research, and analyse and present your findings. The programme will also engage you in current historiographical and theoretical debates.
You’ll be supported by academic experts in the Department of Archaeology, Classic and Egyptology and have access to archaeological collections and facilities for archaeological drawing. Our team of MRes supervisors are actively engaged in research, ranging from early prehistory to late antiquity. Their specialisms include Palaeolithic archaeology and Egyptian archaeological culture.
