The research master’s programme in Archaeology is the most diverse in the Netherlands. Benefit from our extensive experience and international reputation in archaeological research, and lay the best foundation for a career in academia.
This two-year master's programme is organised around the excellent research for which Leiden has reached international renown.

Supervisors are either Professors or Associate Professors and are specialised in a range of research topics.
The programme's courses aim to intensify and broaden the students' knowledge base and to develop research and publication skills. You are encouraged to visit conferences, contribute to workshops and to take courses outside the department.
