Course Overview

Our courses enable you to develop your skills and knowledge, whether to enhance your career prospects, proceed to study further, or for general interest.

Our modules cross the traditional academic boundaries of archaeology and ancient history, enabling you to gain a wider knowledge in your chosen area.

Employability skills are embedded throughout our curriculum. You will develop research and IT skills as well as critical thinking.

In addition, we offer our Distance Learning students a chance to participate in our Internship program, gaining valuable real-life experience working with heritage bodies while they are still studying.

General Eligibility

Our distance learning undergraduate courses are all open access – anyone can join the course as long as they meet English language requirements. This means that we are able to offer qualifications to a far wider range of students than on a traditional campus-based degree.

You need three key things to study with us: you must be passionate and self-motivated. Second, you need to have access to a computer with a good internet connection. You need to be able to use that computer and have some basic IT skills, including the ability to access websites, use email, and create a typed document. Third, you need to be able to spend between 12-15 hours a week studying part-time or 24-30 hours a week full-time. It is important to remember that students work at different speeds and have different strengths, so these figures are just a guide but making sure you have the time to commit to studying is key.
