The UHI Archaeology Institute’s new environmental archaeology masters degree begins in September 2026.
Like our MSc Archaeological Practice, the new taught postgraduate degree will be residential over one year full-time or two years part-time.

Students on the course can select from two routes – either undertaking a dissertation or an environmental archaeology placement. They will also be able to choose modules from across our masters programmes but with core modules such as research and dissertation skills (if choosing the dissertation route) and environmental archaeology in the Anthropocene.
Key to the new course are the practical lab-based modules, such as practical archaeobotany and practical zooarchaeology, which will take advantage of the new AEonS facility when it is up and running.
