Our Masters courses are designed for students who have gained a 2:2 Honours degree or above in their undergraduate degree. However, candidates who possess experience in archaeology, or a related field, may also be able to apply. If in doubt then just get in touch with us.

For more details, e-mail studyarchaeology@uhi.ac.uk.

You don’t have to study a whole masters course. You can complete individual modules that support your own requirements, for example, if you want to complete a stand-alone module to support your own professional CPD.


This course requires a 2:1 honours degree in a relevant subject. Candidates without formal qualifications, or with less than a 2:1 but with professional experience evidenced by their portfolio, will also be considered.

For more details, contact Dr Antonia Thomas.
