Overview

As a BSc Archaeology student, they will develop critical, analytical and transferable skills that prepare you for professional, scientific, academic and research careers - whether in the exciting and rapidly advancing area of archaeological science or in a wide range of other fields and sectors. We have particular strengths in relation to bio archaeology (the study of human and animal remains, ancient DNA and isotope analysis), materials science (ceramics, metals and glass), digital archaeology and field techniques. This program will offer them a robust understanding of analytical techniques, delivers practical experience in their application and data processing, and the ability to design and communicate research that employs scientific analyses to address archaeological questions. Students will enable them to follow their passions and nurture their curiosity, exploring topics that matter to them. Through a combination of science and thematic or period-based modules, students will be able to situate their scientific training within the archaeological contexts of their choice. Students will develop a broad understanding of the archaeology of Britain and the Mediterranean World, coupled with the opportunity to specialize in there areas of interest. A core component of the program is eight weeks of professional placement, typically on an archaeological excavation, though placements are wide-ranging (e.g. laboratories, museums etc). These memorable placements take place in the summers following Year One and Year Two, in the UK and overseas, developing their skills in an authentic context. As well as practical skills, honed in the field and our excellent, purpose-built and newly refurbished lab facilities, they will develop key research skills through the second-year independent project. Supported by one of our expert staff, students will plan and undertake an archaeological research project on a topic of their choosing.
