BA History and Archaeology

The History and Archaeology BA will give you the chance to study two distinct disciplines that both enhance our understanding of human societies and cultures in the past. It is the complementary, yet different, nature of these disciplines that makes this degree so challenging and exciting.During this degree you will develop an understanding of societies and cultures from the past, with particular emphasis on the medieval and modern periods. You will examine both historical texts and material remains in order to understand the past and consider the sometimes paradoxical relationship between the two.
