Archaeology engages the entire human past in all its temporal and spatial dimensions. Our courses will let you discover how we study, preserve and interpret the past. Our BSc degree in Archaeology integrates traditional archaeology with the practical application of scientific methods that are applied to today's archaeology. BSc Archaeology is a professionally-focused degree in archaeology with a strong fieldwork component and a focus on human osteology or the environment. Your degree pathway at Stage 2 and Stage 3 will comprise a number of compulsory core modules that characterise this combination of archaeology and applied archaeological science. You are free to develop your own interests by being able to select from a range of options. This allows you to develop your own individual degree pathway. The BSc in Archaeology is underpinned by the opportunity to undertake a placement, offering real work experience, and in the final year by a substantial individual research dissertation in a topic of your own choosing. There are plenty of opportunities for hands-on experience.
