Important for Master and Research Master
- Electives: within your MA you have some elective space, which you can fill out using either Archaeology courses, or courses from other programmes at the University. You need permission from the Board of Examiners if you take any course not already mentioned in the Prospectus. Please note that courses below level 400 will not be accepted.
- Internship: you have to find and arrange your own internship if you want to partake in one. Your specialisation leaders can help you decide what is a useful path for you to take. See the website for more information.
- Thesis: you have to start with your thesis soon, because the programme is short. Discuss your thoughts and ideas with your specialisation leader, or with one of the examiners who can supervise your (R)MA thesis. See the link for a list of MA examiners or RMA examiners. Further information is on the Brightspace page for your thesis group.
- Research Master's: for the RMA you need to fill out a form for your personal study plan. If you have not done so already, contact the Study Advisers to request the form. Also, if you need help figuring out the right path, please contact them.
