Pre-master Archaeology

Pre-master

The pre-master track (transition programme) is intended for students who want to start a master in Archaeology, but who have some deficiencies in archaeological knowledge or skills. The pre-master programme offers you the opportunity to acquire these skills yet.

A pre-master programme is always determined on an individual basis, in concordance with and with the approval of the Admission Committee. The programme consists of a selection of courses from the bachelor Archaeology.

Pre-master Archaeology

To be eligible for a pre-master Archaeology you have to meet the following requirements:

  • A BA-degree in an archeaology-related discipline.

  • You're able to obtain any missing archeological skills and knowledge within 1 year.

Please note: these requirements will not automatically secure admission to the pre-master programme. Every individual application will be assessed by the Admission Committee. Depending on your previous training and prior knowledge, the Admission Committee will determine the content and number of ec (60 ec maximum) of your pre-master programme.

Application

You are advised to apply for the master programme of your choice. The Admission Committee will then assess your file and will either admit you directly to the master programme, or you will receive a pre-master offer. In that offer you will find instructions on how to apply for the pre-master programme.
