MA (Hons) Archaeology/German 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 experience,
covering excavation methods and promoting archaeology's societal value. We
organize both local and overnight educational trips to historical locations, natural settings, museums, and other cultural institutions.
Students may participate in ongoing faculty research initiatives involving site surveys, digs, archival work, and collection-based studies, while also securing internships at heritage and museum institutions through our partner network. Assistance is available for 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 archaeology and heritage preservation with
public institutions, nonprofit organizations, and cultural agencies 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, along with commercial archaeology firms operating worldwide like GUARD Archaeology Ltd.
