PhD students are required to submit a dissertation of up to 80,000 words. This work will represent a significant and novel contribution to the fields of Archaeology, Assyriology, Egyptology or Heritage Studies. The Division of Archaeology provides research training for PhD students through regular Research Skills seminars held in the first and second terms of their first year.Ê

All PhD students are assigned a supervisor and an advisor and may have additional co- supervisors and/or advisors who make up their Ôsupervisory teamÕ. You will have frequent meetings with your supervisor and other team members and should meet together with the full team at least once per term. PhD students receive a progress review at the end of their second and fourth terms.Ê

These assessments take the form of a progress report and interview with their supervisor and other teaching staff at the end of the first year and a 10,000 word pilot study and interview at the end of the second year.

Continuing

MPhil students wishing to continue to the PhD in Archaeology are required to achieve a High Pass mark of 68 overall in Archaeology or a related subject; no less than 68 in their dissertation, and to obtain the support of an appropriate supervisor. In some circumstances additional academic conditions may be set to ensure appropriate skills, such as language competence, are in place prior to admittance on the PhD programme.
