Archaeology is a diverse and wide-ranging discipline that spans the humanities and physical sciences and is unique in exploring the human past in its entirety. In seeking to understand how ancient people lived their lives and engaged with their environment, archaelogists ask the questions that can provide us with the tools to tackle global challenges in the present.

The curriculum is designed to equip graduates with the practical and research skills required to work as professional archaeologists. The broad-based nature of the discipline enables graduates to compete strongly in the market place. The analytical and communications acquired make them sought-after in a wide variety of fields including industry, commerce, research and a range of professions.
