Overview

Classical Art & Archaeology is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Archaeology is assessed mainly through extended written work rather than examinations.
