MPhil Modules
The Department of Archaeology offers students great flexibility in combining modules. Students may explore, for example, a region and a method, or choose an archaeological science emphasis. Students take the equivalent of three year-long modules (which can be made up of a combination of year-long and one and two-term long modules) in a combination specific to their chosen MPhil option, as well as taking the Research Skills module (G01) and completing a dissertation.
