Archaeology MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

Archaeology is the study of how people in the past interacted with their world, through a detailed study of their objects, sites, monuments and landscapes.

You will have the opportunity to gain practical fieldwork skills in the UK and also abroad. Recent students have worked in the Baltic states, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy and Portugal.

CAREER PROSPECTS

Employers, from banking and law to business and tourism, value the transferable skills that an archaeology degree offers such as teamworking, practical problem solving and critical analysis.

Many graduates are employed in vocational archaeological and heritage roles working for government agencies, the charitable sector and other heritage organisations in Scotland and beyond, including the National Trust, Historic Environment Scotland, Northlight Heritage, British Museum, National Museums of Scotland and Glasgow Life, as well as various companies offering commercial archaeological services in the UK and abroad.
