Our interdisciplinary BA in Archaeology and Ancient History explores societies and cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, Europe, and Near East, from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine Empire, including groups like the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. By integrating archaeological and historical methods, students gain diverse perspectives, develop practical skills in excavation, surveying, and outreach, and can specialise in specific periods, cultures, or themes such as gender, politics, and religion. Teaching draws on cutting-edge research, with opportunities for fieldwork, research projects, and a four-week placement on excavations.Students build a range of academic and professional skills, including problem-solving, project management, and communication across media, through varied assessments like essays, presentations, and creative work. The programme emphasises employability via public engagement options and culminates in independent studies and a dissertation. Graduates emerge equipped for careers in heritage or beyond, with distinctive features including research-led modules, placements, and the option for a year abroad.
