What does it train you for?
The Master's Degree provides full advanced training in Archaeology, with respect, in particular, to classic archaeology, without excluding pre-classical and post-classical archaeology, applied methodologies and techniques.
The student will improve the historical and critical understanding of archaeological data (sites, monuments or artifacts), using different documents (literary, epigraphic, material or settlement culture).
The methodological and applicative aspects are accessible through computer, technical and scientific knowledge (applied physics and chemistry for archaeology) and laboratories (excavations, landscape archaeology, analysis of artefacts).
Practical activities and internships/traineeships Agencies and Institutions active in the management and protection of Cultural Heritage will allow students to conduct independently field activities (archaeological excavation, surface research, analysis and valorization of artefacts), guided by a research manager and/or within Teams.
The student will personalize his/her educational path by choosing a historical-artistic approach, or one focused on material culture or settlements, or by privileging the fields of methodology and applied sciences.
Many credits are allocated to laboratory and/or field activities, and to the final exam.
Study opportunities and training experiences abroad are available through the Erasmus program and the Double Degree with the University of Göttingen.
