You will also take an integrated module exploring the relationships between the two subjects.In the final year, you will design and carry out your own research project for your dissertation. You may also choose to go on a residential field course.As a student in the Anthropology and Archaeology Departments, you will be welcomed into both academic communities and can attend an extensive programme of research seminars, which may provide inspiration for your dissertation topic and even future study or employment.
