BA (Hons) Archaeology

... United Kingdom
... University of the Highlands & Islands

Course Overview

With world-renowned archaeological heritage sites such as Skara Brae, Maeshowe, the Camster Cairns, and Mousa Broch, what better place could there be to study archaeology than in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland?

Our BA (Hons) Archaeology* is closely linked to the distinctive cultural heritage of Scotland but also places all of that within a much broader global context.

The degree will provide you with a detailed understanding of the practice of archaeology. You will also develop your practical skills in archaeology through hands-on experience and archaeological placements.

You will receive research-led teaching from lecturers engaged in world-class research on projects from the Scottish Islands, the UK, and Ireland, to the Atlantic region and Polynesia.

There is a strong emphasis on developing archaeological skills in several areas including field archaeology (for example, excavation and survey); environmental archaeology (for example, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, and osteoarchaeology), together with digital archaeology, such as photogrammetry; and archaeological illustration.
