MA (Hons) Archaeology/Celtic Studies in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Glasgow

Archaeology explores humanity's historical relationship with their environment by examining artifacts, ancient sites, structures, and geographical areas.
Students can acquire hands-on excavation experience both domestically and internationally. Previous
participants have joined digs throughout Europe and the Middle East, spanning locations like the Baltic region, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, and Portugal.
The curriculum strongly focuses on obtaining real-world heritage sector experience,
covering excavation methods and promoting archaeology's societal value. We
organize both local and overnight educational visits to historical locations, natural settings, museums, and other cultural institutions.
Participants can engage in ongoing faculty research initiatives involving site surveys, digs, archival studies, and collection-based work, while also securing internships at heritage and museum institutions through our partner network. We additionally assist students in joining European excavation teams.
Various industries, including finance, legal, corporate, and hospitality sectors, appreciate the adaptable competencies developed through archaeology studies, such as collaboration, hands-on troubleshooting, and evaluative thinking.
Numerous alumni pursue careers in professional archaeology and heritage preservation, working with
public institutions, nonprofit organizations, and cultural entities across Scotland and internationally,
such as the National Trust for Scotland, Historic Environment Scotland, Archaeology Scotland, the British Museum, National Museums of Scotland and Glasgow Life, alongside private archaeological service providers operating globally like GUARD Archaeology Ltd.
