Studieprogramma
opbouw
Throughout their study, students can build up their own programme by choosing elective courses ('Flexible Component') from MA or REMA courses in Groningen or in other Dutch Universities, or opting for tutorials supervised by a member of staff – always in consultation with the Director of Studies. Students are expected to attend research seminars, which they can also help organize.
They will also participate in courses on offer by the National Research School of Archaeology Archon, or in workshops and intensive courses on location in the Institutes in Rome, Athens or Istanbul (they can take these courses throughout their two years), for a mandatory minimum of 10 ECTS. They are encouraged to participate in the department's ambitious research programme which builds on a long and internationally renowned tradition of multidisciplinary approaches. They can also do an internship with an external partner, e.g. a museum or research institute.1e jaar In the first year, you will attend three compulsory courses and two elective ones (or Flexible Components).

The Research Master in Archaeology offers an ideal combination of a strong taught programme organized along thematic courses and a flexible structure which offers ample opportunities for further specialization. The compulsory lectures revolve around the main research interests of the Groningen Institute of Archaeology: the integration of archaeological theory and archaeological science, the archaeology of the settled landscape, the relation between humans and the environment, mortuary studies and the analysis of material culture. During these courses students will be trained in networking and in writing articles, grant applications and PhD proposals.
