Archaeology at Southampton is broad, diverse and multidisciplinary, with strong links to other subject areas, including geography, oceanography, arts and the humanities.
Our interests are wide-ranging, including human evolution, maritime archaeology, human skeletal analysis, zooarchaeology, material culture, archaeological survey and heritage management.
We embrace prehistoric to modern periods, and encompass a geographic range that includes Britain, Eastern and Western Europe, Africa, the Pacific and the Americas.
The breadth of masters programmes offered reflects our subject, period, methodological and thematic expertise. We offer:
MA/MSc Maritime Archaeology
MA Cultural Heritage Studies
MSc Archaeology
MSc Archaeology (Bioarchaeology)
MSc Archaeology (Higher Archaeological Practice)
MSc Archaeology (Palaeoanthropology)
MSc Business and Heritage Management
Each of the above programmes functions as a discrete course, but students commonly draw on additional specialist modules from other masters courses in order to build a bespoke skill set.
