Projects

The School was ranked first in the country for world-leading research in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise of British universities, and generated more than £2 million of research funding.

Research interests range from archaeology and anthropology to the history of art, cultural heritage, and museum studies. Reflecting the interdisciplinary character of the School, many of our research projects combine these fields of interest and lead to museum exhibitions at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, the British Museum, and the Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery.
