Studentships available for MSc in Archaeological Computing
==========================================================
The Department of Archaeology at the University of Southampton
invites applications for four NERC studentships (fees and
maintenance) for the MSc in Archaeological Science:
Archaeological Computing. This course, established in 1989,
is supported and recognised by the Natural Environment
Research Council (NERC).
The course equips students with computing and IT skills
appropriate a career in professional archaeology or to study
for a research degree. The programme covers most areas of
computing and IT that are used within Archaeology including
units on Programming, Databases, Image Processing, CAD,
Quantitative Data Analysis, Geographic Information Systems
and Multimedia systems. Opportunities to take a range of
other units are also available.
The programme is structured into two semesters of tuition,
following which students spend the summer preparing a
dissertation. Students take eight assessed units, including
four that are normally compulsory.
Past experience has shown that MSc dissertations can form a
starting point for more advanced research towards MPhil or
PhD or as a tangible example of applied computing skills.
Successful applicants for NERC studentships will have or expect
to get a good honours degree (usually an upper 2nd or first) in
archaeology or a related subject. Applicants should indicate
that they wish to be considered for NERC funding in a covering
letter with their completed application form. Application forms
and further details are available from:
