Course summary

The information provided on this page was correct at the time of publication (November 2023). For complete and up-to-date information about this course, please visit the relevant University of Oxford course page via www.graduate.ox.ac.uk/ucas. The DPhil in Archaeology provides students with the opportunity to pursue substantial independent research across a wide range of periods and subjects, including British, European, African, and Asian archaeology, and in theoretical aspects of the discipline. The DPhil is a full-time degree that is examined only by thesis and there is no formal course of instruction. Applicants are encouraged to contact prospective supervisors, academics in the School of Archaeology, that share similar research interests so that they can discuss project ideas and get advice. Projects which cross disciplinary boundaries, for example in archaeological science or cultural heritage, are also welcome. Details of the department's research areas and themes, and recently completed DPhil projects are listed on the department's website. (See Further information and enquiries). There are no specific taught elements although students are encouraged to attend lectures and participate in research seminars, particularly the skills seminars and some of those in the wide-ranging weekly seminar series organised within the research groups. Seminars also provide opportunities for students to present their work. Students are encouraged to undertake fieldwork, which, if appropriate, can often be in relation to one of the department's projects.
