BA in Archaeology

Get involved with archaeological excavations, but appreciate that it s about much more than just digging. Archaeology is an academic subject that will teach you valuable theoretical and practical skills. Benefit from our dedicated Archaeology Building and specialist equipment, and learn in purpose-built laboratories. You will also have easy access to our three superb on-campus museums. You will have the opportunity to participate in a dedicated fieldwork experience during your course, providing you with direct hands-on experience in all aspects of an archaeological excavation. Put your skills into practice, including excavation, surveying, GIS (geographical information systems) mapping, planning, and finds processing, and contribute to archaeological knowledge through our discoveries. If you are interested in studying abroad, you have the opportunity to spend a term at Aarhus University in Denmark or the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland, in your second year, getting to know a new academic and cultural environment.
