This programme is a pathways-based MSc degree, with a strong emphasis on the development of skills and specialism in Bioarcheology, including opportunities to gain experience with both human and zooarchaeological remains. Students will acquire expertise in the anatomy of humans and animals, bone identification, sexing, ageing, health and disease, paleopathology, growth, diet, death and burial, and ethics. They will learn how to consider issues such as status, ethnicity, social identity, disability, migration and domestication thorough skeletal material and mortuary contexts. Archaeology is a diverse and wide-ranging subject, and our approaches to teaching and learning reflect its broad scope. Learning activities include the full range of teaching and learning methods: from lectures, seminars and laboratory work, to discussion groups and field-based practical instruction, both indoors and outdoors. The variety of activities on offer allows students to work to their strengths as well as developing competency in new areas. The range of learning and teaching methods has been adopted to ensure that graduates from the programme gain knowledge of the different conditions in which we work, as well as confidence in a variety of academic and professional settings.
