Life at Archaeology

As new students, you will benefit from a dedicated research training programme to introduce the wide range of facilities and specialist support available. You will develop your research interests under the guidance of your supervisor and regular advisory panels will provide periodic feedback on work in progress. In the summer term every year the School holds a joint Postgraduate Conference for all its research students. First year students are expected to prepare and present a poster outlining their research and in the second year you will be required to give a podium presentation. (more details about our Archaeology Research Students.

There are opportunities for participation on established research projects run by our experienced staff. For more information on our current projects, please view our Research pages.

You may also have the chance to develop your teaching skills, both by taking course run by the Centre for Staff Training and Development (CSTD) and by helping with undergraduate seminars and marking.

The Department runs a programme of Research Seminars (comprising external speakers and internal 'work in progress' seminars) and PhD students and staff organise regular reading groups (to discuss current papers).
