UCD School of Archaeology

Scoil na Seandálaíochta UCD

I have pleasure in welcoming you to UCD School of Archaeology.

Our School has ten full-time teaching staff, all of whom are acknowledged experts in their fields of research. Other staff members include a draughtsperson, a computer and information technology specialist and an excavation and post-excavation specialist. The School also has a vibrant postgraduate community many of whom act as tutors and demonstrators for undergraduate classes. Further information about applying to UCD to study archaeology can be found on the "My UCD" pages and via the undergraduate and postgraduate links on the left hand side of this page.

Archaeology is an exciting subject and a rewarding career. Graduates of this School have always been successful in finding employment in professional archaeology and in other walks of life. Whether you intend staying with us to completion of your BA and beyond, or choose to pursue your other subjects after First Year, we hope you enjoy your time in UCD, and that you find both academic success and personal reward during your time here.
