Honours Supervision

The Centre for Archaeology & Ancient History offers supervision in a number of Research areas:

• Ancient History
• Archaeology
• Classics (Greece & Rome)
• Egyptology

This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Not all staff will be available in any given year or semester. Staff members' interests range widely, and students who wish to work on topics not covered in this list can possibly be accommodated. Dissertation topics should be discussed by interview with the Honours Coordinator or the Discipline Coordinator (above)

The Honours Program involves intensive advanced study combining coursework with a research project, or dissertation, in which the student engages in independent research on an approved topic under the supervision of a member of academic staff.
