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 modules to term long modules (which can be made up of a combination of 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.
The modules offered each year vary and applicants are advised to contact the Graduate Administrator for information about the year for which they are applying. Some of the modules offered include.
