Master’s Degree Programme in Medieval and Post-Medieval Archaeology

Medieval and Post-Medieval Archaeology (known by the German acronym AMaNz) explores the past on the basis of material legacies, but also in conjunction with written and visual sources. The typical subjects of this discipline are castles, monasteries and churches, but can also include cities and villages as well as all aspects of everyday culture. More recently, approaches influenced by cultural studies and the examination of the recent past have gained in significance.
Medieval and post-medieval archaeology has an important role to play in the practical side of (archaeological) heritage conservation in Germany. This programme opens up career opportunities in state and municipal institutes and authorities, in museums, and also in the private sector (excavation companies, cultural promotion).
