About this position
Architectural History and Archaeology MA (Hons) is a four-year, full-time undergraduate degree at the University of Edinburgh’s Edinburgh College of Art. It is a distinctive joint programme combining the study of buildings, places and the historic built environment with archaeological investigation of material remains.
Architectural history explores how people imagined, designed and used buildings and places, and how architecture relates to wider social, political and urban history. The programme also considers contemporary architectural heritage and places the history of architecture within the cultural history of cities. Archaeology provides deep-time perspectives through the discovery, recovery and analysis of artefacts, ecofacts, buildings, sites and human remains.
Students begin with broad foundations in the history of architecture across global contexts alongside an introduction to archaeology. In later years, research-active staff offer more specialised courses, with opportunities to study heritage, conservation, urbanism and related themes. Teaching includes lectures, seminars, projects, study trips and practical experience across Edinburgh, a World Heritage Site.
The programme includes archaeological fieldwork, field trips to buildings, streets and archives, and opportunities for placements with local heritage organisations such as Historic Environment Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland. Students can also pursue study-abroad opportunities and assessed work placements focused on methods for assessing and managing the historic built environment.
In the final year, students complete a 10,000–12,000-word dissertation with staff guidance, developing research, analytical and argumentative skills. Facilities include ECA resources, libraries and special collections, computing facilities, creator labs, and archaeological research and teaching laboratories for post-excavation processing, wet chemistry and skeletal-remains study.
The architectural history team includes specialists in twentieth-century Soviet and socialist architecture, nineteenth-century architecture in Britain and its Empire, architecture and energy, twentieth-century British architecture and planning, eighteenth-century Scottish architecture, and architecture and structure.
