Open the doors to a broad range of careers and learn how to survey, excavate and analyse findings from diverse and beautiful landscapes. This BA in Archaeology and Geography degree encourages you to explore questions about how ancient people lived, settled and cultivated land. Your education will allow you to identify evidence of past settlements and change the way you view the landscape forever. Taking both Archaeology and Geography as a joint degree allows you to explore the relationship between the wider landscape and environment and the human societies that inhabited them in the past. In addition to the broad archaeological base, this programme covers social and cultural anthropology, historical archaeology, and physical and cultural geography. Through a combination of classroom and fieldwork you develop a range of surveying, excavation and analytical skills that are translatable to a plethora of jobs. The course is made up of two compulsory and two optional modules from each subject in year one, with the option of 25 per cent in a third subject. In the third and second year, you have the power to learn more of the topics you love with the option to do a dissertation in either subject. Graduates find career paths in museums, surveying, teaching, research, mapping, construction, museum curation and business.

Archaeology and geography are not just vocational subjects. Our graduates go on to a wide range of careers and find that knowledge can be applied in a range of organisations from local government planning and National Trust bodies to museums and consultancies. This joint honours degree will help you to discover key skills employers seek, such as time management, problem solving, team-work, project management and cultural awareness. Above all, you will learn to communicate ideas and enthusiasm to a wide range of audiences in a way that is relevant and understandable.
