The Master's degree programme in Archaeology aims to provide a solid base of knowledge in the field  of the archaeology of the European continent and of the countries bordering the Mediterranean, as well as the skills required for working in the field of cultural heritage protection and enhancement and for participating in archaeological digs. It is an open-admission programme for students holding the required educational background, i.e. a Bachelor's degree in Archaeology. Curricular requirements will be assessed through an admission interview, with a view to ascertaining that the candidate has earned all the credits required for admission to the Master's degree programme in Archaeology.

The core courses of the programme include the main archaeological disciplines:

  • European prehistory and protohistory;
  • etruscology;
  • archaeology of pre-Roman Italy;
  • Greek archaeology;
  • Roman archaeology;
  • archaeology of Magna Graecia;
  • archaeology of the Roman provinces;
  • a course of Greek or Latin literature;
  • a course of ancient history or Egyptology or literature;
  • two courses of anthropology or analytical methods for cultural heritage studies.

Training activities are organized on a six-monthly basis and include a workshop in an archaeological excavation site or in the classroom in technical-archaeological disciplines (archaeological design, surveying tools, cataloguing of artifacts). A key part of training is research work with a view to writing the degree thesis.
