× I have just started my masters degree in conservation of Archaeology.
✓ I have just started my master's degree in conservation of Archaeology.
The phrase 'masters degree' is missing the possessive apostrophe. It should be 'master's degree' to indicate the degree belongs to the master level. This is a common grammatical convention in English.
× I have just started my masters degree in conservation of Archaeology.
✓ I have just started my master's degree in Conservation Archaeology.
The phrase 'conservation of Archaeology' is awkward and incorrect. The correct term is 'Conservation Archaeology' or 'Archaeological Conservation'. Using 'in' with the field name is correct, but the field name should be properly phrased.
× I have some tasks and assignments I have to do for my studies like maybe lab work and some quizzes to do.
✓ I have some tasks and assignments I have to do for my studies, like lab work and some quizzes.
The phrase 'like maybe lab work and some quizzes to do' is redundant and awkward. 'Maybe' is unnecessary here, and 'to do' is redundant after 'tasks and assignments I have to do'. Simplifying improves clarity.
× It was mainly in the university but nowadays I started to do the work in my home.
✓ It is mainly at the university, but nowadays I have started to do the work at my home.
The sentence mixes past and present tenses incorrectly. 'It was mainly' should be 'It is mainly' to reflect ongoing situation. Also, 'started' should be 'have started' to indicate recent action continuing to present. Prepositions 'in the university' and 'in my home' should be 'at the university' and 'at my home' respectively.
× Actually I can't say yes or no, it depends on the assignments I have to do.
✓ Actually, I can't say yes or no; it depends on the assignments I have to do.
The sentence is mostly correct but needs punctuation for clarity. Adding a comma after 'Actually' and a semicolon or period between the two independent clauses improves readability.
× But most of the time I have stress from my studies and I try to achieve most of them on the deadline and the schedule is really hard to follow.
✓ But most of the time I am stressed from my studies, and I try to complete most of them by the deadline; the schedule is really hard to follow.
'I have stress' is better expressed as 'I am stressed' to describe a state. 'Achieve most of them on the deadline' is incorrect; 'complete most of them by the deadline' is correct. Also, punctuation improves clarity.
× Of course I like the university I study in, it's really modern and really convenient and it's helps me and open up more opportunities for my thesis and.
✓ Of course, I like the university I study in; it's really modern and convenient, and it helps me open up more opportunities for my thesis.
'It's helps me' is incorrect; it should be 'it helps me'. Also, the sentence ends abruptly with 'and.' Proper punctuation and conjunction use are needed to complete the sentence.
× I hope that someday I will achieve to sign up for a teaching assistant's job in the same university I study in, because it's gonna be open and faculty for archaeology and it will be a good opportunity to complete my masters.
✓ I hope that someday I will manage to sign up for a teaching assistant's job at the same university I study in, because the faculty of archaeology will be open, and it will be a good opportunity to complete my master's degree.
'Achieve to sign up' is incorrect; 'manage to sign up' or 'be able to sign up' is correct. 'Gonna' is informal; use 'will'. 'Open and faculty for archaeology' is unclear; it should be 'the faculty of archaeology will be open'. Also, 'masters' should be 'master's degree'.
