Overview
The DPhil in Classical Archaeology from the University of Oxford is a full-time degree that is examined only by thesis and there is no formal course of instruction.
Features
- Instead, students develop their own topic under the guidance of their supervisors, who are experts in their field of research.
- There is also the possibility to develop projects which cross disciplinary boundaries, for example in ancient history or archaeological science as appropriate.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- You will be encouraged to attend lectures and participate in research seminars, particularly the numerous and wide-ranging weekly seminar series organised within the cutting-edge Historical and Classical Research Group.
- These also often provide opportunities for research students to present their own work.
- The department strongly encourages fieldwork and there are often opportunities for joining fieldwork in relation to projects led by academic staff.
