BSc Archaeology

Archaeology is a broad-based discipline which harnesses material remains to interpret the rich diversity of past societies, from aspects of everyday life including diet and housing, to ideology and belief systems expressed in burial practices, ceremonial monuments and works of art. As a subject, Archaeology lends itself to a fun, challenging and immensely rewarding learning experience which encourages students to realise their full academic and personal potential.
