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

Archaeology explores how ancient civilizations engaged with their environment by examining artifacts, historical sites, and geographical contexts.
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 nations, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, and Portugal.
The curriculum strongly focuses on obtaining real-world heritage experience,
covering both excavation methods and archaeology's societal contributions. We
organize local and overnight trips to historic locations, natural settings, museums, and other cultural sites.
Students may participate in ongoing faculty research initiatives involving site surveys, digs, archival work, and collection-based studies, while also securing internships at heritage 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 gained through archaeology studies, such as collaboration, hands-on troubleshooting, and analytical thinking.
Numerous alumni pursue careers in archaeology and heritage preservation with
public institutions, nonprofit organizations, and cultural agencies across Scotland and internationally,
including prominent entities like the National Trust for Scotland, Historic Environment Scotland, Archaeology Scotland, the British Museum, National Museums of Scotland and Glasgow Life, as well as UK-based and international archaeological service providers such as GUARD Archaeology Ltd.
