Course Overview

 Our approach is profoundly multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, bridging the sciences and the humanities.

Archaeological and Forensic Sciences at Bradford has a long-established reputation as one of the key centres for archaeological research in the UK. Bringing together staff from both Humanities and Science backgrounds within a single centre, we have created a powerful and distinctive research identity which blends cultural archaeology with cutting edge science.

This vision is promoted through the school's specialist groups including the Biological Anthropology Research Centre, the Stable Isotope Centre and Visualising Heritage - the University centre where archaeologists and forensic scientists use the latest technologies to capture, image, analyse and disseminate human activity from the past and the present. Archaeological and Forensic Sciences was in the top 10 for archaeology in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) which assesses the quality of research conducted in all UK Universities. Over one-third of our research was awarded the highest 4* ranking, and we were ranked 3rd in the UK for research impact.

Bradford’s field and lab-based projects have a global reach, currently including work in Mediterranean Europe, Western Asia, the North Atlantic and South America.

Entry Requirement 

Academic Requirements:

Faculty research is very important and recruitment of high-quality postgraduate research students is a key part of the Faculty of Life Sciences strategic plan.

Applicants should have a Master's degree in a relevant subject; alternatively, we will consider students who have a relevant Bachelor's degree with at least upper second class honours (2:1) or equivalent. Exceptional candidates without such qualifications, but with extensive research experience, may also be considered.

Selection of PGR students will be subject to successful interview (either in person or by Skype or conference call) by the supervisory team and one independent member of academic staff with significant PGR supervisory experience.

English Language Requirements: 

If English is not your first language, we ask for a minimum standard entry requirement of 6.0 IELTS (with sub-tests not lower than 5.5).

The certificate must have been gained within two years of the proposed start date.

If you do not meet the IELTS requirement, you can take a University of Bradford pre-sessional English course. 

Fees

£20885

NOTE: (there may be an additional bench fee of £5000 or £10000 depending on the research project. This will be determined by the Faculty at the point of application.)
