This one-year Master's program offers students from diverse academic fields a comprehensive postgraduate qualification in Archaeology, with opportunities to specialize in areas like Viking Archaeology, Museum Studies, Bioarchaeology, Osteoarchaeology, or Palaeopathology.

Designed as a flexible framework, this MSc in Archaeology caters to students with varied interests, allowing them to focus on specific archaeological disciplines while earning a broadly recognized degree.

Instruction is driven by cutting-edge research and connects directly to ongoing projects led by department faculty, who are renowned researchers and field experts across Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Northeast Asia, the North Atlantic, and the circumpolar regions from Siberia to the Canadian Arctic.

The curriculum covers archaeological research theory and methodology. With customizable course options, you can focus on topics like Northern Worlds or Viking Archaeology, master essential Geographic Information System (GIS) applications for archaeology, and gain hands-on experience in cartography and geo-visualization.

The University's rich museum collections provide exceptional opportunities to examine modern challenges in preserving and presenting archaeological artifacts, particularly in osteoarchaeology.
This program serves as excellent preparation for advanced research, professional development, or personal enrichment. It also functions as an ideal conversion course for those new to archaeology but with related academic backgrounds.
