Institute of Archaeological Sciences

The IAW offers a comprehensive study of past epochs through the diversity of four archaeological disciplines (Mediterranean Archaeology, Archaeology of the Roman Provinces, Prehistoric Archaeology, and Near Eastern Archaeology). Research projects in Switzerland and abroad offer students an early introduction to academic practice. The Institute's research is based on the regional and thematic focuses of the four departments and covers all epochs of human history.
