Historical Archaeology is an exciting master's program that offers deep insights into the past of this unique country. What I appreciate most is that the program can be tailored to individual research interests, particularly through the two-year-long master’s project and various 'individual projects.' Additionally, the mandatory courses equip students with the theoretical knowledge essential for further academic work. Overall, the program has exceeded my expectations, and I’m very happy to have taken the big step of moving to Iceland for my degree.

The study of Historical Archaeology has been interesting, it has opened my mind to wider ways to approach archaeology like in connection with other disciplines. My ideas for the studies have been welcomed and I have been guided to achieve my goals. In addition, the group is multinational and it provides an opportunity to get to know students and archaeology from other countries.
