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 course includes a wide variety of options across a span of prehistoric, ancient, and medieval periods, from Britain to the Near East.
