Course Overview

BA Archaeology you will study from a broad chronological and geographical perspective, with topics ranging from prehistoric Britain to Greek sculpture, and the Roman Middle East to medieval Italy. The study of archaeology develops the ability to understand how people lived and acted in their physical environment and thought in the past. The course includes a wide variety of options across a span of prehistoric, ancient, and medieval periods, from Britain to the Near East. You will learn the essential analytical techniques of archaeology to develop your understanding of the relationship between theory and practice in the interpretation of material remains. Practical archaeological experience is a key element of the degree and includes learning through the resources of archives, collections, and practice in the field. This course is ideal if you have a keen interest in understanding the past through people's relationships with things and places. We will encourage you to access written, graphic and material evidence (including skills in dealing with data), and to question accepted histories so that you will develop the ability to construct and present convincing archaeological arguments through text and image.

Graduates can pursue career paths in archaeology, conservation, and education, as well as in UK Government Offices, publishing, and journalism. Possible professions include:

heritage manager

archaeologist

museum/gallery curator

higher education lecturer.

Graduates from this degree have gone on to work with Historic England, the National Trust, the British Museum, the Museum of London, the Cambridge Archaeological Unit, and a host of schools and colleges.
