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

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