History and Archaeology 'Discover More' Postgraduate Information Event (in-person)
Do you have a passion for history? Are you fascinated by archaeology and its ‘use’ by contemporary society? Have you ever wondered why and how prehistoric societies treated the dead compared to modern cultures? Are you wondering about a career in the heritage sector or keen to develop skills to help you progress in this competitive industry?
Join us for an engaging, interactive event to learn about our exciting range of postgraduate courses in History, Archaeology and Heritage.
Across two hours, you will be introduced to our dynamic inter-disciplinary curriculum, designed to equip students with advanced research skills, critical perspectives and hands-on experience working within and alongside archaeological and heritage professionals. Meet the course leaders, tour our on-site learning spaces, and get the chance to use some of our state-of-the-art equipment, such as virtual reality headsets and 3D scanning tools. You will also visit the Digital on Tour bus, from which drones are launched to facilitate geophysical survey. (Yes, we have a lot of exciting gadgets!).
If you are interested in studying with us, please join us for our in-person information event where you can discover more about our courses, and more about our historical world. If you would like to make enquiries ahead of the event, please feel free to contact the course leaders Professor Tim Grady (MA History), Dr Caroline Pudney (MA Public Archaeology), Dr Amy Gray Jones (MA Death and Memory), Dr Morn Capper (MSc Museums and Heritage Practice), Professor Howard Williams (MRes Archaeology) and Dr David Harry (MRes History).
The location will be in our Westminster Building, room CWE 126/1 (but someone will be available to meet you in the foyer). If you cannot make it in person, you can join us online on Wednesday 9th April.
