Studying Archaeology at Postgraduate Level: How to Apply

How do I apply for a place on a degree?

Applications to postgraduate courses are handled by each university separately. There is no central service, unlike for undergraduate degrees with UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service).

There is no better way than to narrow the choice of courses through postgrad.com and then look at university websites for details of each course and the expertise of the staff in the department. Email, phone or write to the universities who run the courses you are interested in to ask for further information.

You need to consider both the course you are applying for as well as the university itself – it’s accommodation, clubs and societies, facilities, location etc. The Students’ Union of most universities is often a good source of information.
