Master’s degree in Quaternary Archaeology and Human Evolution offers a specialised, career-oriented degree designed to prepare students for research in the field of Quaternary archaeology without neglecting the important demands of society and the labour market. It aims to train students to evaluate and draw up reports on archaeological interventions so that they can work as specialists in the field of archaeology or in the management of archaeological heritage.
The master’s programme has three main areas:
- Research into human palaeoecology and prehistory, palaeoanthropology, geology and palaeontology of the Quaternary.
- Archaeological intervention.
- Management, conservation and socialisation of archaeological heritage.
Students can choose between two editions of the programme: the Master’s Degree in Quaternary Archaeology and Human Evolution and the Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Quaternary Archaeology and Human Evolution (Erasmus Mundus). The main difference between the two master’s degrees is that students are required to undertake an international Erasmus Mundus mobility stay as part of the interuniversity and international version. Therefore, students of both degrees have the same share classes except for the stay abroad.
It shares objectives and educational activities with the degrees in History and Anthropology and Human Evolution through introductory subjects to a specialisation in archaeology.
