關於課程
You’ll acquire first-hand experience and a thorough practical understanding of the scientific principles and analytical techniques at the centre of archaeological science.
We create a sound base for you to maximise the impact of your research and propel your career forward. Whether you’re looking to take a general approach or to specialise in biomolecular archaeology, osteoarchaeology or zooarchaeology, you can create your own portfolio, blending modules by period, theme and skill.
Our experts are leading on an exciting range of innovative projects spanning early prehistory to the present day in four major themes: human and animal lifeways, houses and the built environment, materiality, and the social significance of chronology.
Our distinguished archaeology research seminar series provides further opportunities to engage with the latest national and international research developments.
Pursuing your studies in our suite of purpose-built laboratories, furnished with bioarchaeology and bioanalytical facilities and comprehensive reference collections, you’ll have access to a wealth of specialist equipment. In-house resources range from scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared to raman spectroscopy instrumentation and x-ray facilities. Alongside sample preparation equipment and a bespoke photography suite, we offer specialist visualisation technologies from digital microscopy and GIS to digital illustration.
Career prospects - After successfully completing this MSc, you should have a broad spectrum of knowledge and a variety of skills, making you highly attractive both to potential employers and research establishments. You will be able to pursue a wide range of professional careers, within commercial and academic archaeology and the wider heritage sector. Career paths will generally be specialist and will depend on the choice of modules. Graduates will be well placed to pursue careers as a specialist in isotope analysis, zooarchaeological analysis or human osteoarchaeology. They will also be in a position to apply for general laboratory based work and archaeological fieldwork. Working within science communication and management are other options. Potential employers include archaeological units, museums, universities, heritage institutions, Historic England and Cadw. Freelance or self-employment career routes are also common for animal and human bone analysts with postgraduate qualifications. The archaeology department has strong links and collaborations across the heritage sector and beyond. British organisations that staff currently work with include Cadw, Historic England, English Heritage, Historic Scotland, National Museum Wales, the British Museum, the Welsh archaeological trusts and a range of other archaeology units (e.g. Wessex Archaeology, Oxford Archaeology, Cambridge Archaeology Unit, Archaeology Wales). In addition, staff are involved with archaeological research across the world. You will be encouraged to become involved in these collaborations via research projects and placements to maximise networking opportunities and increasing your employability.

如何申請
Entry requirements for 卡地夫大學
The programme is suitable for Archaeology BSc, BA and other BSc graduates interested in acquiring multidisciplinary skills in this expanding area of archaeological science research.
Applicants are required to have a minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree in Archaeology, History, Ancient History, Conservation & Heritage, Geology, Geography, Chemistry, Biology, Zoology. Students with a high 2:2 (57+) will only be considered in exceptional circumstances when they have relevant experience (e.g. field/laboratory work, or excellent marks in relevant modules).
Typical offers for other qualifications: applicants without the usual formal qualifications but extensive relevant experience, for example, working in archaeological fieldwork or post- excavation may be considered for entry to the diploma scheme.
The Archaeology and Conservation section is already familiar with considering potential students from non-traditional backgrounds with a range of other experience rather than formal academic qualifications. Such potential students will normally make an enquiry prior to application, however, they can then apply in the normal way, but are required to submit evidence of their relevant work, and are interviewed in relation to this.
The principal concerns of the admissions panel will be that their experience is up-to-date and sufficiently substantial to support their admission to a master's scheme, the interview tests their personal understanding both subject area and the practical structure of this level of postgraduate work.
IELTS (Academic) - 6.5 (with at least 5.5 in each sub-score)
TOEFL (iBT) - At least 90 with minimum scores of 17 for writing, 17 for listening, 18 for reading and 20 for speaking
