Summer Schools

Join us at the University of Aberdeen’s award-winning North Picts team for three weeks of field training and a dedicated programme of guided tours of spectacular Pictish sites and monuments. During the field school you will learn the key skills of survey, excavation and post-excavation, and take part in uncovering a major lost Late Roman to Pictish multi-period hillfort in Fife. No prior excavation experience is necessary with students earning transferable University of Aberdeen credit while studying with experts in the field.

Limited spaces available.

This intensive course will allow students to have a practical and field-based experience.  Skills in various scientific disciplines will be developed with lab, field and in person tutorials; there will also be an opportunity for cultural experiences which are unique to the North of Scotland.

Cover topics such as Knowledge and the Internet, Testimonial Injustice, comparative Epistemology across Analytic and Chinese Philosophy, ethical issues concerning the use of AI, ethics and health care, and philosophical issues relating to Global Justice and International Law, as well as immersing yourself in the life and culture of Scotland and the United Kingdom.
