MA(SocSci) (Hons) Archaeology/Business Economics 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 in the UK 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 focuses on building real-world heritage skills,
such as archaeological field methods and promoting archaeology's societal value. We
organize both local and overnight trips to historical sites, natural settings, museums, and other cultural institutions.
Students may also contribute to ongoing faculty research initiatives involving site surveys, excavations, archival studies, and collection-based work, while gaining professional exposure through our partnerships with heritage and museum institutions. We additionally assist students in securing positions on 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 analytical thinking.
Numerous alumni pursue careers in archaeology and heritage preservation with
public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and cultural institutions 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 private archaeological service providers operating globally like GUARD Archaeology Ltd.
