Course Description
The program is located at the intersection of archaeology, anthropology, paleoanthropology, and all subjects related to human evolution. The program focuses on disciplines related to Palaeolithic Archaeology such as Palaeolithic technology, organization of Palaeolithic societies and aspects of prehistoric ideology, paleoanthropology, cultural evolution, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, geoarchaeology, among others, as well as numerous topics in human evolution and regional specializations.
Students can specialize in electives and through excavations/internships. The offers for this reflect the offers of the 3 participating CIVIS universities.
What Sets Us Apart
This multiple master's degree program was established by the Universities of Aix-Marseille (France), Rome (Italy), and Tübingen (Germany) with the European alliance of 10 universities called CIVIS. The master's program is called "ART" in reference to the three partner universities in Europe (Aix-Marseille, Rome, and Tübingen) and it is designed as an independent master's program, building upon the curricula of existing programs in each institution. Fieldwork experience and academic training are also offered in South Africa, via collaboration with the University of the Witwatersrand.
Requirements
Qualification Requirements
Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in archaeology or in an equivalent subject is required. Bachelor's degrees in relevant natural science subjects (geology, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science) may also count as entry qualifications if archaeological experience is available. A joint committee, including representatives of the three universities of Aix-Marseille, Rome, and Tübingen, decides on the equivalence of the degree and possible additional requirements, such as supplemental lectures or lab classеs.
