Description

The built environment is an important aspect of human culture. Preserved architectural remains provide us with the possibility to explore and explain the spatial framework of past societies. Although the technological and environmental conditions for construction may have differed through time and space – just as activities and social norms related to the use of buildings did – many analytical tools and methods, which have been developed for studying these remains, are applicable regardless of the context. This course focuses on the analysis and interpretation of complex built environments, and particularly on how we can make the most of the existing material. The aim is to give an outline of the different means of documentation, interpretation and visualisation that are available to us, as well as a theoretical basis for choosing an appropriate documentation strategy. The course consists of two parts, first a theoretical part where the students get a thorough knowledge of documentation methods and strategies as well as different theories and methods regarding spatial analysis. In the second part of the course the students are introduced to various digital methods of documentation and analysis of buildings. The course includes case studies from different periods and geographical areas, in order to highlight various perspectives and approaches in buildings archaeology. The students will be acquainted with some of the most recently developed digital techniques for documentation and visualisation, but the question of how we can gain further knowledge through the analysis of built environments will remain at the centre of attention.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
