In this programme some of the world's leading researchers introduce essential archaeological concepts, issues, and analytical techniques. Through your selection of optional modules, field projects and dissertation topics you will also develop knowledge of particular chronological periods, geographical areas and specialist skills to support your own interests and development.
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 Archaeology BA and BSc share many of the same core modules in your first and second year. The routes then differ in the focus of optional modules as you choose modules with a greater (BSc) or lesser (BA) concentration on the scientific analysis of findings.
The first year provides a solid grounding in archaeological concepts, practical methods in archaeology and an introduction to major issues in world prehistory.
The second and third years provide a more advanced understanding of archaeology and theoretical approaches, and allow you to develop your own specialised interests by choosing optional modules in particular subject areas.
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, research and write up with the help of a supervisor.
Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in Archaeology.
