M.Phil. in Archaeology
The Department of Archaeology offers a two-year research masters degree to applicants with a good honours degree in archaeology from a recognized university. This full-time programme also has a PhD-track feature for students who are approved for doctoral studies after the first year.
Students taking the research masters programme will receive training and academic supervision as part of a larger Research Group in the department. Each student agrees to undertake a particular research project leading to a major thesis after two years. Entry to the M.Phil. programme requires a 2.1 honours B.A. degree in archaeology or closely related discipline from a recognized university, or the equivalent in the Higher Diploma in Archaeology or comparable programme. Each M.Phil. applicant will initially be interviewed by the Professor of Archaeology and subsequently by the director of the Research Group s/he is interested in joining. M.Phil. students are required to complete their research within two years of initial registration, unless they upgrade to a Ph.D. in the second year.
