Are you interested in developing a future-proof and solid skill-set in archaeological method and theory? Do you want to combine your archaeological interests with current societal issues such as climate change and migration? Do you want to learn how to write a peer-reviewed article on archaeology?

This programme is designed with present-day societal challenges and opportunities in mind--including, but not limited to climate change, structural social inequality and migration.

Additionally, you have access to our laboratories, reference collections, and expertise.
