This programme will provide you with a thorough grounding in the archaeology of Rome and its provinces. You will acquire an understanding of recent and current theoretical developments in the interpretation of archaeological evidence, as well as a familiarity with major sites and Roman cultural material. It exploits the theoretical, thematic and methodological expertise of archaeology at Southampton.

The core modules develop your understanding of Roman archaeology, and the range of options available build your knowledge of archaeological themes and approaches, applying them to Roman material. The breadth of these options provides you with an unrivalled opportunity to build a degree which develops your own interests.

This programme is distinctive in exploiting the theoretical, thematic and methodological expertise of Archaeology at Southampton. It provides a core of two compulsory modules which develop your understanding of Roman Archaeology as a discipline, your knowledge of one or more geographical areas in particular, and your familiarity with different forms of Roman materials.

Key features

* The structure of the course is flexible enough to provide you with a thorough grounding in the archaeology of Rome and its provinces, whilst allowing you to develop your own specialist interests in the subject

We offer a large variety of postgraduate studentships, bursaries and sponsorship for which UK and EU students may be eligible.

Financial support

There are several sources of funding to help you through your studies

For details, see the Key Facts for each taught course or research programme, or browse through the Postgraduate Studentships and Bursaries offered by each Academic School or Research Centre.

PhD Studentships
Details of current PhD studentships are advertised on the Universitys current job vacancies page.

Sponsorship
Sponsorship is available for some masters and doctoral programmes.

* Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) can provide the opportunity to study for a higher degree (masters or doctorate) while working in a company, managing a project of strategic significance. Find out more about KTPs.
* Our Engineering Doctorate (EngD) is a four-year doctoral programme, with an enhanced stipend and research which is directly relevant to industry.
* Many of our masters programmes offer bursaries, a number of which are course-specific. Find out more about postgraduate bursaries.

Research Council Funding
Many postgraduate students are funded by one of the UK Research Councils. Successful UK applicants receive fees and maintenance support while EU students receive a fees-only grant. If your programme is eligible for Research Council funding you will need to contact the relevant Council directly.

Competition for these awards is intense and you should apply as early as you can. For some of our postgraduate programmes you may need confirmation that you have been awarded funding before you can register as a postgraduate.

Career Development Loans
A Career Development Loan (CDL) can help fund up to two years vocational training or education, plus up to one further year if the course includes practical work experience. A CDL is a delayed repayment loan offered in partnership with the Learning and Skills Council and three high street banks (Barclays, The Co-Op and Royal Bank of Scotland).

Loans are available for between £300 and £10,000 and no repayments are made during the period of study and for up to one month afterwards. The Learning and Skills Council pays the interest during this time after which the student is responsible for repaying the loan and any further interest to the bank.

Other sources of funding
It is also worth researching alternative sources of funding if none of the above are applicable.

International Scholarships
We offer some subject-specific scholarships and bursaries to international students. In addition to these, many international organisations offer financial assistance. Eligibility criteria vary depending on the scholarship scheme.

Scholarships for international students may cover all or part of the full cost of studying abroad. You will usually need to provide an offer letter from the University when applying for a scholarship. For this reason, it is very important to start all the arrangements at least one year prior to the start of your studies.
