Archaeology / Theology & Religious Studies, MA (Hons)

Archaeology explores how past societies interacted with their environment through the analysis of artifacts, sites, monuments, and landscapes. Students can develop practical fieldwork skills in the UK and internationally, with recent opportunities including projects in the Baltic states, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, and Portugal.Theology and Religious Studies enable students to learn Greek and Hebrew from beginner levels, allowing them to read original texts of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. This discipline examines religion, the Bible, and theology in relation to politics, history, literature, philosophy, art, culture, personal beliefs, and practices. Open to all faiths, it covers major world religions—such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism—in their cultural, political, and intellectual contexts, supported by a knowledgeable team at Glasgow.
