MA (Hons) Archaeology/Theology and Religious 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 nations, 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 dig sites, historical regions, museums, and other cultural institutions.
Participants can engage in ongoing faculty research initiatives involving site surveys, excavations, artifact collections, and archival work, while also securing professional placements 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 developed through archaeology studies, such as collaborative skills, hands-on troubleshooting, and evaluative thinking.
Numerous alumni pursue careers in archaeology and heritage preservation, working for
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, alongside UK-based and international archaeological service providers like GUARD Archaeology Ltd.
