Our degree in Archaeology integrates traditional archaeology with the practical application of scientific methods that are applied to today’s archaeology. It is a professionally-focused degree in archaeology with a strong fieldwork component and a focus on human osteology or the environment. Your degree pathway in the second and final years will comprise a number of compulsory core modules that characterise this combination of archaeology and applied archaeological science. We offer a number of clear pathways, which will provide you with a specialism in, for example, prehistoric archaeology or in cultural resource management. The course is underpinned by the opportunity to undertake a placement and by a substantial individual research dissertation in a topic of your own choosing. A placement year allows you to apply your academic learning within a wide range of industries, including private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. You will gain hands-on experience, develop skills such as communication, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship, and build a professional network that will benefit your future career.
