Archaeology and English University of Malta

Overview

Archaeology

During your Archaeology and English course of studies offered by University of Malta , they will provide you with the academic knowledge required to understand how archaeology is a necessary and important area through which modern society can learn about primitive or ancient societies and cultures on a global scale. They offer a Mediterranean archaeological perspective where you will have the opportunity to put to practice the concepts and theories learned into the field work unit offered during summer recess. 

They will also encourage you to undergo the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as they believe that a diversified and multi-cultural experience through international learning will provide you with a more refined learning outcome.

Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.

English

The programme of study in English will help you explore the history and modes of literature and language across time, dating from Ancient Greece to our contemporary life. During the course you will become knowledgeable of different writing styles and will learn about the complex theories and critical approaches towards literature. 

By studying about canonical and non-canonical writers, both British and non-British, they will help you broaden your literary and linguistic horizon as you come to a firmer understanding of how literature captures the politics, tribulations, arts and culture of the world by defamiliarizing and reconstructing it on page. You will also be encouraged to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more holistic and multicultural academic journey.
