Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Archaeology (F400)

Our BA gives you an excellent foundation in all aspects of world archaeology. Choose from a range of specialist modules to suit your interests. Modules cover a variety of time periods, geographic locations and methodological approaches. Topics range from human evolution to experimental archaeology.

Your degree combines hands-on learning with small-group teaching and lectures. You'll work in both the field and the laboratory, developing critical skills in diverse archaeological methods. You'll also have the chance to work alongside world-class researchers on a range of archaeological materials.

Right from the start, you'll get in-depth archaeological experience. You'll do a minimum of six weeks either in the field, the laboratory or the workplace. We have a dedicated field school for excavation training and you'll have the chance to get involved in staff research projects, lab work and excavations.

These experiences, combined with your key archaeological skills, will prepare you for a professional career in archaeology or the heritage sector.
