About the Program

Discover past cultures – with real finds, exciting stories, and modern scientific methods: the Archaeologies degree program offers exactly that. The program provides deep insight into the world of earlier civilizations, combining history, natural sciences, and culture. Students have the opportunity to focus on one of the following subfields: Egyptology, Archaeological Natural Sciences, Christian Archaeology, Classical Archaeology, and Prehistoric and Early-historic Archaeology. Egyptology deals with all areas of ancient Egypt, including language, writing, religion, and culture. Archaeological natural sciences apply methods and questions from the life and earth sciences as well as chemistry and physics to archaeological material. Christian archaeology examines archaeological remains from late antiquity and the early Byzantine era. Classical Archaeology focuses on the study of the ancient Mediterranean region, with particular emphasis on Greek and Roman culture. Prehistoric and Early-historic Archaeology deals with the development of Europe from the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages to the first millennium A.D. This subject must be combined with a second subject.
