The one-year Master’s programme Archaeology of Northwestern Europe covers 3,000 years of European History, and allows you to specialise in one of two key European eras: Globalisation and interconnectivity in Iron Age and Roman Europe, and the Medieval and Early Modern world.

Archaeology of Northwestern Europe

The Master’s in Archaeology of Northwestern Europe offers specialised training in more than 3000 years of European archaeology. The two specialisations in the programme each combine theoretical and thematic approaches with practical fieldwork and research practices. Considerable attention is paid to contemporary developments in the field, introducing students to debates such as the archaeology of intercultural connections like trade and conflict. The programme also offers you the chance to develop your own research and internships.

Two archaeological epochs

Although spanning nearly 3000 years of Northwestern European history, the Master’s in Archaeology of Northwestern Europe enables you to specialise in one of two regional archaeological eras. The specialisation Globalisation and Interconnectivity in Late Prehistoric and Roman Europe explores the integration of Celtic/Germanic societies of the Iron Age into the Roman Empire, while The Medieval and Early Modern World focuses on the study of the origins and developments of cities such as Amsterdam in conjunction with developments in landscape.
