Archaeology / Geography, MA (Hons)

Archaeology examines human interactions with their world through objects, sites, monuments, and landscapes. Geography studies Earth's surface as the context for human life and work, exploring variations in physical and human landscapes and their interrelationships. This dynamic field addresses key issues like river and coastal management, conservation, migration, development, and urban geography.At the University of Glasgow, students gain practical fieldwork skills in the UK and abroad, including excavations in Europe (e.g., Baltic states, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Portugal, Spain) and Scotland. The flexible Honours programme offers core and optional courses, fieldtrips, research projects, and placements with heritage organizations. Graduates secure roles in archaeology, heritage (e.g., National Trust for Scotland, Historic Environment Scotland, British Museum), and diverse sectors like engineering and government (e.g., Scottish Government, Transport Scotland), leveraging transferable skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and analysis.
