Archaeology

About Archaeology

Archaeology is a diverse, wide-ranging discipline that spans the humanities and physical sciences. It is unique in exploring the human past in its entirety and actively shapes our understanding of human development through fieldwork and discovery.

You will gain the skills to work in the archaeology and heritage sectors, or a range of other professions. Focus on a single honours degree (choose from a BSc or MA) or pursue a joint honours degree combining Archaeology with a range of other subjects.
