This master’s specialisation deals with the archaeology of the civilisations along the Nile in its broadest sense, and provides a unique long-term overview of the development of societies in Egypt from an archaeological perspective. Specialised seminars provide a familiarisation with relations between material culture and society in different time periods: from Prehistory, through the Pharaonic era to the Graeco-Roman periods. To complement this long term perspective, a course on the archaeology of Coptic Egypt will be offered for the optional free choice.
Research/PhD
A few master’s students can become eligible for a research master’s programme in preparation for a possible PhD research position. Strict selection criteria apply here. Apart from carrying out their own research, PhD students are expected to follow the education programme of a research school such as the Research School for Archaeology (ARCHON) or CNWS. They also have modest teaching obligations, such as being in charge of a seminar based on their own research project.
