Programme profile


In this programme, you will study past societies – from the Celts and the Romans to the Middle Ages and beyond – and their importance in today’s world. Not only will you research and excavate the material remains of human activity, but you will also learn how this translates to knowledge about earlier cultures. You will develop academic skills and insight and will learn that archaeology is connected with many other fields of study, such as heritage, landscape, art and history.

Programme content


You will learn to use digital, forensic and other modern research techniques, as well as how you can use them to find and analyse archaeological remains.

You will examine various remains, such as pottery, coins and bones, in order to discover how humans used to live.

With the aid of maps, geological knowledge and computer models, you will learn how you can reconstruct a landscape in order to find out what it looked like in the past.
