Archaeology
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.
The programme in Archaeology teaches how the human past can be understood and studied through anachronistic materials that remain present in modern day. During your course of studies, we 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. We offer a Mediterranean archaeological perspective where you will have the opportunity to put to practice the concepts and theories learned into our field work unit offered during summer recess. We will also encourage you to undergo the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as we believe that a diversified and multi-cultural experience through international learning will provide you with a more refined learning outcome.

In the undergraduate programme of study in Theatre Studies, we will give you an academic perspective of the theoretical, practical and historical application of the theatre, and its versatile application in a broad range of performative manners. During the course we will instil you with a deep sense of awareness and appreciation of the interdisciplinary area and its contribution to society. We will also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diverse academic journey.
Communication and Academic Skills Programme
The communication and academic skills programme complements students’ main course of study. It introduces them to writing and presenting as situated within academic contexts sensitive to specific disciplines and develops their competences for future careers.
