General description

The major in Archaeologies imparts an in-depth knowledge of the sources, material, and methods of prehistoric, classical, and medieval archaeology. The program examines the cultural development of human societies, primarily in Europe and the Mediterranean region, from their beginnings to the start of the modern era, on the basis of material remains. The focus is on independent scholarly work, structured, analytical, and connected thinking, and critical engagement with sources, methods, and research findings. The major in Archaeologies qualifies students for a further academic career (doctorate), work in monument preservation, in museums, or the media (publishing, libraries, and archives), and the communication of knowledge in the field of culture (cultural authorities, education, or tourism).
