MPhil Modules
The Division of Archaeology offers students great flexibility in combining modules. Students may explore (for example), a region and a method, or choose a heritage emphasis. Students take three modules in a combination specific to their chosen MPhil option, as well as taking the Research Skills module (G01) and completing a dissertation.
