It focuses on disciplines related to Palaeolithic Archaeology such as Palaeolithic technology, organisation of Palaeolithic societies and aspects of prehistoric ideology, paleoanthropology, cultural evolution, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, geoarchaeology, among others, as well as numerous topics in human evolution and regional specialisations.
The master's programme is called "ART" in reference to the three partner universites in Europe (Aix-Marseille université, Sapienza Università di Roma and University of Tübingen) and it is designed as an independent master's programme, building upon the curricula of existing programmes in each institution. Fieldwork experience and academic training are also offered in South Africa, via collaboration with the University of the Witwatersrand.
Students can specialise in electives and through excavations/internships. The offers for this reflect the offers of the 3 participating CIVIS universities.
