The MA programme at UCL’s Institute of Archaeology lasts one year, running annually from October to September.

Students are required to take two core courses, choose one other Masters option, and write a dissertation. The core courses comprise:

▪                Global Issues in Maritime Archaeology

Students also get to follow further options from an outstanding range of Masters course options available.

The Institute of Archaeology’s many attractions include:

•                A unique location: a purpose-built central London location only ten minutes from the British Museum, British Library and a host of other archives and galleries;
•                Outstanding facilities: over 80 faculty offering a genuinely global subject coverage, based in a building housing one of the finest archaeological libraries in the world as well as laboratoryand other research facilities;
•                A ‘bespoke’ experience: small class sizes and flexible options allow students to pursue their own research interests during the MA;
•                A friendly and supportive community: over 250 postgraduate students join us every year from across the world, with a wide array of extra-curricular activities on offer.

UCL is also host to the Thames Discovery Programme, currently undertaking maritime archaeological fieldwork along the River Thames than many Institute students are involved in.

UCL is consistently ranked within the top 10 of global universities and within the top 5 of British universities.

The Institute of Archaeology is one of the largest, oldest, and most respected departments of archaeology anywhere in the world. Previous MA students have gone on to pursue careers in virtually every aspect of archaeology, both maritime and terrestrial.
