Course summary

Learn about the Roman past and use your skills in archaeology, science, digital archaeology, or heritage to help change how we look at the Roman world!

This course is meant for people looking to deepen their knowledge on the Roman past from a diverse and critical angle, or want to apply their skills in other fields to the context of the Roman world. You do not require a background in Roman studies, you need affiliation to the topic and enthusiasm to catch up on the latest debates and developments in the field.

We will discuss a range of exciting topics, work with objects, and uncover new fields of investigation, from new scientific and digital methods to discussions about cultural diversity, slavery, religion, or contemporary heritage. We will cover the entirety of the Empire and its interactions: from Egypt, the Levant, North Africa, to Europe and Britain. And York is one of the best places to go, as it was once the capital of Roman North Brittanica! There is much more to add to the knowledge and the ways we communicate Roman heritage.

Your project will add to an active field of study, will have practical components in material analysis, or can be done in collaboration with our many local heritage partners.

Careers and skills

Roman Europe is a defining archaeological period. With your knowledge and laboratory and/or field-based skills you will be well placed for a career in the archaeological and heritage sectors.

Your skills in analysis, communication and problem solving will be valuable across a range of career opportunities.
