Archaeology is both practical and academic and draws upon natural and social sciences, humanities, and the arts. Our expert staff will support and inspire you in your academic journey as we explore the past, from the earliest human origins through to the present day.You’ll study the theories, methods and practice of archaeology, including laboratory analysis of artefacts and skeletal remains, survey, excavation and computing techniques, and contemporary debates in archaeological thought. Alongside modules focusing on archaeological theories, methods and practice, you can explore the prehistoric, classical, and medieval worlds. We have a fully funded archaeological field-school in East Sussex, The Culver Archaeological Project. As a core part of the degree, you can take up to eight weeks of direct training on site and gain hands-on experience of all aspects of archaeological investigation. This on-going excavation has featured on the BBC’s 'Digging for Britain' and will give you a chance to be involved in shaping the interpretation of an exceptional Roman settlement.
