Master's Programme in Egyptology
Information about the programme and link to syllabus
This programme is for anyone interested in combining texts, art and material remains in the exploration of Ancient Egypt.
You will learn how a scholar works in this field by studying a fascinating set of sources. You will become an expert in identifying problems and suggesting possible solutions from a fragmentary record by analysing and combining different types of evidence. In this programme, language and text studies are combined with history, art and archaeology.
The programme entails a solid foundation for PhD studies in Egyptology at various universities in the world. It also prepares you for a career that involves aspects of cultural heritage management or administrative roles.
The courses are normally comprised of seminars that sharpen your skills in oral presentations and communication. Academic writing is practised continuously, preparing you for a range of situations where complex problems are analysed.
The programme is international; Swedish students represent the majority, with others coming from nationalities from elsewhere in the world (e.g. India). Students come from a background in Egyptology. The programme is based in Uppsala with up to 10 students enrolled per year.
