Introduction
The Interuniversity Master's Degree in "Archaeology and Antiquity Sciences" began its journey in the 2010-11 academic year and has already gone through several reforms that have contributed to improving it significantly. At present we have just passed the positive evaluation of the ACSUG and the Ministry of Universities of the 4th edition of the master. Our master's degree is a unique offer in the Galician university system and unique in Spain.
In this new edition we have reformed its program, and the University of A Coruña has been incorporated, the three Galician universities participate, the University of Santiago de Compostela as the coordinating university, the University of Vigo and the University of Coruña; Likewise, the Incipit-CSIC of Santiago de Compostela collaborates in teaching.
This master offers a double orientation in its training, on the one hand, it has a professional orientation, it aspires to train archaeologists who can develop their professional work in preventive archaeology, in administrations and in the dissemination of the discipline to society, and on the other hand, On the other hand, it has a research orientation, giving way to the USC doctoral program in "History, Xeography and Art", either to the UVigo "Protection of Cultural Heritage" program or to the "Humanities and Documentation" doctorate from the UDC.
The Master is inter-university (USC, U Vigo and UDC) and has the participation of the Institute of Heritage Sciences (Incipit) of the CSIC.
