埃及学 MPhil Egyptology

The MPhil in Egyptology focuses on the study of ancient Egypt, combining teaching across a range of topics with a short research dissertation. Topics are drawn from the archaeology, culture, and history of ancient Egypt, and the study of its ancient languages including Coptic and Demotic. Students may follow either an archaeologically or linguistically oriented pathway, developing detailed knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture, historical archaeology, landscape and the built environment, art, and ancient language and literature. Students have the opportunity to borrow modules from other MPhil programmes in the department, allowing comparative perspectives through study of contemporary Mesopotamia or broader theoretical issues in early societies.
