International Master and PhD programs in Maritime Archaeology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology
__________________________________________________________________________________
New International Master and PhD programs in Maritime Archaeology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim Starts in August 2005 !
The new full 2 years (four terms) Master Degree Program in Maritime Archaeology is aiming at training of high skilled specialists.
We foresee close co-operation with other programs around the world. The program will also build on NTNU`s ongoing research activities in Norway and abroad and will focus on the following aspects:
· Maritime Aspects of Culture; deals with the development and scope of the subject, current research, theoretical perspectives and central issues.
· Maritime Cultural Landscape in Comparative Perspectives interaction between land and sea in cultural development of the world.
· Boat and Shipbuilding Technologies - materials and procedures of construction, and the major building traditions of the world.
· Ship Science in Archaeology - recording, reconstruction and analysis of ancient hulls.
· Seafaring in the World; covering seafaring, navigation, anchorages, harbours, trade and exchange.
· Marine Natural Resources in cultural development - world comparative perspective.
· Underwater Cultural Heritage Management - deals with the priorities of assessing, protecting and managing underwater archaeological resources.
· Archaeological Oceanography.
· Underwater Archaeology - application of archaeological principles in underwater environments and associated skills - including marine archaeological field methods.
· Deep Water Archaeology a study program in deep water archaeology including use of technology and methods developed at NTNU.
· Conservation of Underwater Archaeological sites.
The PhD program in Maritime Archaeology will be based on NTNU`s general principles for PhD and will be offered to selected students.
