The Bachelor's degree in Archaeology is a combination of Prehistoric Archaeology and Historical Archaeology. The study is about understanding, explaining and communicating the lives, movements, culture and society of ancient people. In Archaeology, you study the remains of the past and the archaeological cultural heritage - from the earliest people to the present day. With your nose in the book, your fingers in the ground and your eyes on things, you learn to interpret the traces of the past and communicate your knowledge about the culture of our ancestors.
Stick your nose in the book and your finger in the ground Through the study, you will gain an overview of the living conditions and cultures of the time, you will learn excavation and documentation techniques as well as various analysis methods. The teaching in the Bachelor's degree program in Archaeology is built around lectures and class hours, both with active participation and mutual discussion between students and lecturer. You will go on excursions and excavations, which are a central part of archaeological work and research.
During excavations, you will learn about the archaeological 'craft' and its many techniques. You will learn to work independently and critically with the physical traces of the people and societies of the time using humanistic and natural science methods. In the interpretation and analysis of findings, you will come across subject areas such as social anthropology, history, religious studies, geology, biology and geography.
Interpretation and dissemination You will learn to communicate your knowledge of the past, archaeology and cultural heritage to a wide audience and you will gain insight into the role of archaeology and cultural heritage in today's world. You will gain skills in cultural heritage management, project management, documentation methods and IT archaeological tools. In short: you will be trained for the tasks of the modern archaeologist.

In the Bachelor's degree programme in Archaeology, you learn to describe and systematise the remains of the past, and you gain knowledge of settlement patterns, ancient remains and culture. Depending on whether you are interested in prehistoric or historical archaeology, you can get close to the people of the past and their societies through the study of everything from the hunting methods of the Neolithic Age, the farming communities of the Iron Age to the knighthood or urban life in the Middle Ages. You can closely study objects such as Bronze Age razors, Viking Age Thor's hammers or medieval castles, or structures such as Stone Age giants' dens and Renaissance fortifications. You can also delve deeper into topics such as cults, burials, war and exchange. You will examine finds above and below ground, in the water and in museum collections and archives.
The past and present in perspective
The main emphasis of the program is Denmark's past, but you will also learn about the past in the rest of Europe and other parts of the world. Through the program, you will analyze the physical traces of our ancestors and reconstruct a picture of the living conditions and society of the time. With the focus on 'cultural heritage', there is also a focus on connecting the past with the present.
Career opportunities
With a bachelor's degree in Archaeology, you can continue your studies on a number of master's degrees. For example, you can choose to specialize in prehistoric or historical studies, corresponding to the bachelor's degree you are taking. This can give you job opportunities within the museum and excavation industry or within areas such as cultural communication, teaching and research. You can also study a master's degree in Sustainable Heritage Management, which gives you the necessary skills to solve the challenges that have been found with the management of cultural heritage.
