About the Program

Students of the Archaeological Sciences degree program can choose between four specialties: Classical Archaeology, Christian Archaeology, Pre- and Early Historic Archaeology as well as Egyptology. Each specialty focuses on deepening relevant archaeological knowledge through conventional course formats as well as practical elements, such as field trips or practical courses, in a research-oriented way. In addition to their primary specialty, students choose a secondary archaeological specialty to complement their profile. Alternatively, students may design their study program according to their individual interests by freely combining courses from the above-mentioned specialties as well as from Islamic Archaeology, Anthropology of the Americas, Ancient History, Medieval History, Art History and Museum Studies. This allows students to increase their knowledge of essential monuments and continuously develop their analytical and research skills using interdisciplinary approaches and methods, enabling them to conduct independent research and take a critical stance in expert discussions.
