New Masa Scholarship for M.A. in Archaeology in Israel

The University of Haifa International School is excited to announce that applicants for our one-year Master’s program in Archaeology (specialising in Prehistoric Archaeology) are now eligible for the Masa scholarship!

Situated atop the Carmel Mountain, Haifa University provides students with an invaluable opportunity to pursue graduate studies within Israel’s historic landscape.

The Mount Carmel area, which is both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a biosphere reserve, reveals a nearly 500,000 year-long sequence of human evolution exposed in caves, rock shelters and open-air sites along mountain valleys and the nearby coastal plain. Unlike any other region in the world, Mount Carmel’s key sites preserve evidence of both modern human and Neanderthal populations, within 100 meters from each other.

The Master’s degree in Archaeology focuses on the prehistory and paleoenvironment of the Mount Carmel region, with course topics also ranging from environmental archaeology; archaeological theory and method; and archaeology of the Southern Levant. Students can choose to specialize in one of many relevant topics, such as: lithic, faunal, geological and palynological studies.
