Course Overview

Archaeology is a multidisciplinary practical degree. It produces graduates with sought-after transferable skills including critical analysis, communication, and team working. From week one you will be in the field learning these skills on a real archaeological excavation. During the degree, youll examine and interpret a variety of evidence from human remains, Palaeolithic stone tools, Anglo-Saxon jewelry, and the latest ancient DNA evidence. As well as lectures and tutorials, youll spend time each year on placement in the UK and/or abroad, working on excavations, making real discoveries, and helping carry out cutting-edge research. Our graduates have been on digs at Avebury and Stonehenge in Wiltshire, Neolithic settlements and tombs in Orkney, and an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Cambridgeshire, to name but a few.
