Course programme

The part-time DPhil programme caters for students specialising mainly in landscape and professional archaeology topics, largely concentrated on Britain and Europe. Occasionally, other topics are accepted but admission in these cases is strictly dependent on the availability of appropriate supervision elsewhere in the university. Please note that candidates, even those with an academically strong background, may not be admitted if appropriate supervision is not available for your proposed research topic.


  • MSc in Applied Landscape Archaeology

The department has strong links with the School of Archaeology which is responsible for full-time provision within the University. Supervision is arranged to suit the DPhil topic. The department’s resident archaeologists, Dr David Griffiths (Director of Studies for Archaeology) and Dr Alison MacDonald (Departmental Lecturer in Archaeology), supervise the programme, along with colleagues from the School of Archaeology and elsewhere.


You will have access to the full range of Oxford’s library, archive and computing facilities. You are encouraged to participate as fully as possible in the wider research environment for archaeology at Oxford, including attending seminars, discussion groups and lectures advertised by the School of Archaeology, Oxford University Archaeological Society and Graduate Archaeology Oxford. The Department for Continuing Education has its own stock of fieldwork equipment and access to specialist facilities elsewhere in the University can be arranged where these are required.


The part-time DPhil regulations require a minimum of six years’ part-time study normally (equivalent to three years full-time), although this may be reduced to four years part-time (two years full-time equivalent) in certain circumstances, for example if you have successfully completed the MSc in Applied Landscape Archaeology or certain other master’s courses with a dissertation of direct relevance to your DPhil topic.
