Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Archaeological Science (with Professional Placement) (F421)

The BSc Archaeological Science with Professional Placement is one of the top scientific archaeology courses in the UK. Students will benefit from outstanding teaching collections and laboratory facilities – with dedicated spaces for the analysis of human remains, artefacts, plant pollen, and archaeological soils and sediments.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in a dedicated Field School during their course, providing them with direct hands-on experience in all aspects of an archaeological excavation. Put skills into practice, including excavation, surveying, GIS (geographical information systems) mapping, planning, and finds processing, and contribute to archaeological knowledge through discoveries.

A key component of this degree is a year-long professional placement, which occurs between the second and final year. Placements can help enhance their employability and build their network.
