Available as Masters or Diploma

Masters

This interdisciplinary MA provides a unique and exciting programme for understanding the archaeology and history of the Roman Empire in the wider context of its neighbouring societies. No comparable interdisciplinary MA programme exists in Britain.

This course is available as a one‐year full time course, or part time over two years. It will equip students with the skills needed to develop their career trajectories, whether they aim to go on to conduct doctoral research or seek to become professionals in archaeology, the Heritage sector or elsewhere.

The course will explore innovative theory, crossing the traditional boundaries between Roman Studies and Prehistory, between centre and periphery, between Archaeology and Ancient History, and between classical and modern historical approaches. It is offered by a School that features a concentration of relevant staff expertise and specialisms exceptional in Britain, ranging from Roman society, religion and warfare to Roman landscapes and economies.

You will not be confined to selected geographical areas within the Empire or to certain methodologies. The blend of approaches offered at Leicester will provide detailed grounding in research skills, extensive analysis of settlement and cultural systems, plus a choice of options which will offer prospective students a chance to specialise in key aspects of Roman studies.

Diploma

The 120‐credit Diploma option is identically structured to the Masters course above, but omits the dissertation.
