  5. General statement:
    The two-year MA program was created with employability in mind. Its aim is not just to provide an education in maritime archaeology, but to prepare students for a career in this field. The course is structured around skills which are necessary in the fields of heritage management, consultancy and archaeological contract work, but also benefit students who want to follow more traditional research-oriented career paths such as at universities and museums. PhD study is also possible within the program; please contact Prof. Thijs Maarleveld for individual inquiries (see below). Students also have the opportunity to obtain an internationally-recognized commercial SCUBA diving qualification at very low cost, as the program operates an approved commercial diving school (the Danish “SCUBA erhvervsdykker” certificate, equivalent to HSE SCUBA).
