Programme description

Our PhD Archaeology programme will see you undertake substantial original research leading to a thesis that constitutes a genuine contribution to archaeological knowledge. You can undertake your PhD as either a full-time or part-time programme.

Archaeology students often undertake some form of fieldwork as part of their PhD, such as small-scale excavation, survey, rock art recording, and working with museum collections and archives.

You could also carry out qualitative social research in the realm of heritage studies (eg conducting qualitative interviews or participant observation).

Archaeology research at Manchester is characterised by a number of themes, which give a distinctive flavour to our research and teaching. These include the study of:

history, theory and practice of Archaeology;
the archaeology of cultural identity;
landscape, monuments and architecture;
technology and society;
death and the body
archaeological heritage and the contemporary significance of the past.

Our doctoral students participate in a thriving disciplinary research culture with regular research seminars.

Coursework and assessment

The maximum length of the PhD thesis is 80,000 words. Assessment is based on the thesis and an oral examination.

Career opportunities

You will undertake a range of training and career development activities throughout your PhD.

The supervisory team will help you to review and develop both your generic and disciplinary skills.

You will also benefit from a wide range of opportunities to build up your CV, for instance, through participation in staff fieldwork projects, contributing to public engagement, collaboration with Manchester Museum, and participation in the University's widening participation activities, such as working with schools.

We have an excellent track record in terms of graduate employment, and many of our former doctoral students have successful and exciting careers working in universities and museums, as well as positions in local and national governments. Some have set up their own companies.
