Overview

The main profile of the PPCU’s archaeological training comprises Roman and Late Antique archaeology, archaeology of the Steppe zone and Hungarian prehistory, archaeology of medieval Europe, and archaeology of the medieval Near East (Islamic archaeology). This is supplemented by very strong practical field training and the teaching of the most up-to-date technologies (geophysical prospects, remote sensing, 3D technologies, and GIS).
The two main specialization opportunities in the master course are Roman Archaeology and Medieval Archaeology with a marked outlook towards Europe and the Near East. Besides the theoretical and practical courses, the more than 25 research projects in Hungary and abroad, and the international archaeological summer university attended by students of more than a dozen different nationalities, offer internationally competitive knowledge and skills for the students.
Education in the most recent technologies of research and documentation (eg. geodesy, geophysics, aerial photography, 3D, GIS) is provided by the Non-Invasive Archaeological and GIS Laboratory of the PPKE based in Esztergom which is outstandingly equipped even by international standards.
