The programme offers an in-depth and critical understanding
of archaeology in its broadest context
particularly focusing on its history
and development of ideas.
There are two core courses and then you can choose
from any of the range of subjects available
through the archaeological curriculum
from human origins to Byzantine archaeology
and from the archaeology of animal remains
to archaeological illustration.
We teach students through seminars and lectures
and practicals where relevant.
We have a suite of excellent laboratories
and computing facilities
and a range of teaching and research collections
to support your study here.
There are weekly research seminars
that will be part of your broader research experience
where you can interact with fellow students and staff.
The staff bring a range of personal expertise and enthusiasm
an d individual understanding of different research areas,
topics and time periods from deep prehistory
to more recent times.
Edinburgh is a great place to live, work and study.
The city is a beautiful place.
Archaeology at Edinburgh is very well placed
in relationship to the main archaeological institutions
which are all based in Edinburgh.
We have links with the National Museum of Scotland
and Historic Environment Scotland
that will all contribute to your experience here.
For me archaeology is a fascinating subject.
It's a wonderfully rich subject
that joins the humanities and the science
and is truly interdisciplinary and I love finding out
who we are and where we came from.
