  • I have massively delighted in being at the University of Glasgow, no second thoughts by any stretch of the imagination. I would believe Glasgow University to be the most understudy focused college as they are continually attempting to oblige and provide for understudies needs

Course programme

The taught component consists of core courses and optional courses, running over two semesters.

Assessment is normally focused on written performance, but oral presentation skills and other modes of assessment allow you to develop your writing skills in a number of formats. This is in addition to the practical emphasis on developing your ability to interpret and analyse artefacts.

For the MLitt you can opt to do either a dissertation or an extended work placement (assessed by work placement eportfolio and either a research report or a student exhibition design).

Core courses
  • Material culture in context
  • The process of artefact studies.
Optional courses include modules such as:
  • Lithic analysis
  • Independent study
  • Critical themes in the display and reception of objects
  • Early medieval artefacts
  • Viking and late Norse artefacts (AD 750-1350).
  • Optional courses drawn from Archaeology or from other programmes across the University can be taken by agreement with the programme convener.
