We are a world top 50 university for Archaeology (QS World University Rankings by Subject). Our staff are engaged in various innovative research projects (in Scotland, other parts of the UK and internationally) and actively involve our students in them. You will be supported in developing a range of Graduate Attributes to enhance your employability through professional practice. You can develop Digital Archaeology skills through the use and creation of digital collections and archives; digital imaging; gaming and interactive media. Our recent £1.2M investment in new archaeological science laboratory facilities and collaborations with Earth Science, Physics, Chemistry, SUERC and others will support you to develop skills in the archaeological sciences, including Environmental Science and Heritage Materials Science. Students participate in Archaeology research seminars and engage with visiting researchers and practitioners, providing opportunities to gain insight into contemporary archaeological research and professional practice while developing wider professional networks. Industry and professional engagement are also supported through the School of Humanities links with The Hunterian, public and private organisations, and heritage-sector partners. You will benefit from field trips, guest speakers, work-based learning opportunities, and opportunities to participate in staff-led research projects. External organisations and professional contacts may also contribute potential dissertation topics or research opportunities, allowing students to undertake projects that address applied archaeological questions and, where appropriate, engage directly with issues relevant to professional practice. Read about how our students and staff discovered a coin hoard linked to the 1692 Glencoe Massacre . Archaeology student Lucy Ankers said: "As a first experience of a dig, Glencoe was amazing. The two weeks I spent digging solidified that I want to pursue a career within archaeology."
