Flexible Learning Courses in Archaeology

Since 2003, the North-West of Ireland has been at the forefront of archaeological education in Ireland. As we continue to develop a new full-time online degree in archaeology, we have created a number of (10 and 15 credit) Special Purpose Awards that focus on particular areas of archaeological enquiry. 

Most of these are taught online, although some, like our Excavation and Buildings courses, include in-person components. Click on the links below to visit the individual course pages where you can check out all the details and apply.
