BA (Hons) in Ancient History and Archaeology is a joint degree which combines two disciplines and provides students with a knowledge of two complementary approaches to the past. Students are provided with training in essential historical skills and given a broad background to the classical history of the Mediterranean World (including Greek and Roman history, theory and methodology) and a global view of archaeology (Old and New World from the Neolithic to the post-Medieval period, as well as theory and practice of archaeology). Throughout the entire degree you can choose to follow a pathway that emphasises either archaeology (including fieldwork) or ancient history and languages.

Archaeology is a very popular single or joint honours degree subject that can lead to a variety of careers. The wide range of skills you acquire throughout your degree are valued by universities and employers alike, and will place you in an excellent position to pursue either a postgraduate education/training or directly enter the employment market.
