Studying

Undergraduate students at Edinburgh explore the human story from earliest prehistory to contemporary archaeology and heritage. Here, Archaeology is hands-on, analytical, and global.

With an international reputation for innovative teaching and research, the University of Edinburgh offers an ideal environment for postgraduate study in archaeology.

Archaeology, the study of the material culture or material remains of past peoples, which can only be fully understood through survey and systematic excavation. Fieldwork is a core component of undergraduate Archaeology degree programmes and some of our postgraduate programmes.

There are so many reasons to choose the University of Edinburgh to study archaeology, at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
