The UCL Palaeoanthropology and Palaeolithic (PaPa) MSc programme is a pioneering course in human origins delivered by a world-leading university. It will bring you a deep and expert understanding of the record of human evolution combining opportunities for the study of palaeolithic archaeology, palaeoanthropology and wider scientific approaches to the early human story. Coordinated by UCL’s Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology departments and drawing on expertise from across the University and other institutions, it will provide you with training in the specialisms of your choice. Having run now for over 15 years, we have PaPa alumni actively leading a new generation of human origins research across the world. Our programme is a proven springboard to PhD programmes, careers in academia, archaeological science, specialist archaeological fieldwork, science media and much more.

Applications are now open to join our 2026 UCL Master's programme in human evolution. Covering the Palaeolithic, Palaeoanthropology & other key disciplines, the course is designed to equip you for a career in the deep human past. #PaPa 🦣📷https://tinyurl.com/5duy6twh
