Criteria for the determination of equalence:

Admission to the master's degree programme may also be possible if a student has completed a bachelor's degree in a relevant related field. As part of the determination of equivalence, the following core areas of the completed bachelor's degree programme will be assessed:

  •  10 ECTS-Credits Core Area: Introduction to Archaeology 
  •  50 ECTS-Credits Core Area: Epochs or selected topics of Archaeology
  • 7.5 ECTS-Credits Core Area: In-Depth Study Archaeology

In the event that equivalence has been established in principle but with certain qualifications missing for full equivalence, supplemental examinations may be required. These examinations must be completed during the master degree programme.
