Master of Science - Professional Human Osteoarchaeology at University of Reading: Tuition Fee: £22,850.00 GBP / Year (Scholarship Available)

The MSc in Professional Human Osteoarchaeology course provides advanced instruction on the osteological methods, theories and techniques needed to identify and analyze human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts.  It highlights training for professional practice in the commercial sector, providing details on report writing, tendering, health and safety, ethics and the law.

Students will have the opportunity to learn directly from leading academics in modules that immediately relate to their areas of expertise. Reading's teaching staff have established international reputations for research in human osteology and chemical analysis, specializing in the study of the life course (infants and children, puberty, old age) and diet.

Modules are designed to provide students with the key skills required for a professional career, following the ‘Osteology Specialist Competence Matrix’ published jointly by the British Association of Biological Anthropologists and Osteoarchaeologists (BABAO) and the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA). In addition, academic research and writing skills will enable them to engage with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), and Historic England’s Management of Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE).

This program has been developed in response to industry need, and in consultation with professional practitioners. Students will have the opportunity to engage with professionals through talks and site visits, allowing them to develop vital contacts for their career.
