The M.A. is available full-time (one-year) or part-time (two-year) and is a taught programme; there are designated Historical and Contemporary Archaeology modules. The Ph.D. program has a three-year duration and is by research only. Graduate students in Historical or Contemporary Archaeology are also encouraged to participate in one or two School-led projects under the direction of Prof. O’Keeffe, and are included as authors in the publications. Prospective students are invited to make contact with the School to discuss course contents and program details, entry requirements, and possible research areas. Graduate students interested in theoretically-informed Historical Archaeology and/or diaspora archaeology are especially encouraged to contact us.
