Archaeology PhD

Bangor University

Our Archaeology PhD and Heritage PhD courses provide you with a fantastic opportunity to carry out a piece of in-depth academic research, under specialist supervision, in an area that most interests you.Archaeology at Bangor takes advantage of our fantastic location in an area which has a wide range of archaeological monuments – prehistoric tombs and stone circles, Roman forts, medieval castles (including the World Heritage Sites of Beaumaris, Caernarfon and Conwy), and the remains of the industrial revolution. The research interests of Archaeology staff include: the early prehistory of Britain and Ireland, the Celtic Iron Age in Europe and Britain, the Western Atlantic Seaboard, Wales and Ireland in the early Middle Ages, and the history of archaeology. Several members of staff have field projects in Wales and beyond. You will prepare a thesis under the guidance of supervisors with specialist expertise, culminating in the submission of a thesis that makes an original contribution to historical knowledge and debate.
