The Master’s programme in Environmental Archaeology combines archaeology, biology, and the study of landscape development and human–environment interactions. The programme focuses on understanding past environments, ecological change, and the long-term relationships between humans and nature. It emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach, linking theoretical knowledge with practical fieldwork and laboratory methods, while allowing students to specialize in areas such as archaeobotany, archaeozoology, or Quaternary palaeoecology. The programme is organized in cooperation with a partner university in Nitra, Slovakia, offering students international experience and a joint degree awarded by both universities.
