The University of Cambridge Archaeology and Anthropology Tripos (the undergraduate degree), and the MPhil in World Archaeology both centre on a generic core of teaching of advanced archaeological theory and practice, with students then selecting option courses specialising in particular regions, periods of the past, and approaches. There is not a particular option course on the archaeology of SE Asia, but several staff and a string of PhD students are working on the archaeology of SE Asia and SE Asian material is included in case studies in the core courses of both the undergraduate and Masters teaching, starting with the first year undergraduate course.

The BA in Archaeology and Anthropology and the M.St./M.Sc./M.Phil. in social anthropology contain an area option on Maritime South East Asia taught by Robert Barnes called "Peoples of Maritime South East Asia". There are also opportunities to study towards a DPhil.
