Master's Degree in Archaeology

All applicants must fill in a pre-registration form and enclose their CV and any other proof of merit (transcript, certificate of participation in archaeological projects, language certificates, copies of papers published).
Students with degrees in History, History of Art, Geography, and Humanities must submit a letter written by a lecturer/university member from the areas of Prehistory o Archaeology. Should this letter not be provided, a personal or e-mail interview will be conducted.

Those applicants having completed degrees other than those listed above shall not only submit a letter of introduction/proof of support by a lecturer/university member from the areas of Prehistory o Archaeology but also have an interview with the Master’s Academic Commission.
