The MSt in Archaeology provides an opportunity for you to build on your knowledge from undergraduate studies in archaeology, or to branch out into new areas of interest. The flexible courses allow you to put together a programme which suits your particular needs. Flexibility is built into the MSt Archaeology degree to allow you to create your own unique courses that reflect your chosen area of study. You will take one of a range of core papers and an option paper and write a dissertation in a third subject, in a combination specific to your interests during the academic year. Most students choose to follow one of a number of streams, although this is not a formal requirement, including the archaeology of northern Eurasia, and environmental, European, maritime or Palaeolithic archaeology. If you are seeking a broader course then you may, if you wish, select one subject from among those offered in a number of cognate disciplines. You will have a supervisor in your main area of interest, who will usually supervise your dissertation and may provide some other teaching, and will advise on option choices and monitor overall progress. Each member of the academic staff in archaeology offers at least one different subject in his or her areas of specialism over the year, but not all courses listed will be available every year. Many graduates from the MSt in Archaeology continue to further degree programmes in Archaeology either at Oxford or at leading universities elsewhere, predominantly in the UK and the USA. Others find careers in education, museums, commercial archaeology and the heritage industry.
