The Faculty of Human, Social, and Political Science (HSPS) comprises 4 Departments:

Each of these departments has a worldwide reputation for teaching and research, and the undergraduate curriculum (Tripos) is designed to serve both students who have a clear disciplinary commitment at the time of application as well as those who want a broader multidisciplinary degree.

- Archaeology (including Assyriology and Egyptology)

Ph.D students conduct research within a wide range of subjects within these fields. More details about all of our graduate programmes are available on the websites of each Department.
