The combined Archaeology and Anthropology BA develops an understanding of the relationship between archaeology and anthropology as subjects offering a uniquely broad perspective on human experience, past and present. It draws upon an unparalleled range of expertise in the analysis of social change, human evolution and material culture.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The degree is structured around a combination of core and optional modules. The core modules ensure that you will maintain a balanced training in archaeology and anthropology throughout the programme, while the optional modules allow you to develop specialist skills in a particular region or area of analysis.
In the first year you will receive a solid grounding in the methods and theories of social and biological anthropology, material culture studies, and archaeology.
The second and third years provide a more advanced understanding of archaeology and anthropology and allow you to develop your own specialised interests through your optional module choices.
In the third year you are given the chance to reflect critically on your fieldwork experience during the degree through a fieldwork portfolio, and write a 10,000-word dissertation on a detailed subject that you will choose with the help of a supervisor.
Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in Archaeology and Anthropology.
