Core modules in the first year provide a grounding in the practical and theoretical methods in archaeology and an introduction to major issues in world prehistory.
The second and final year 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.
Your third year is spent studying abroad at one of our partner institutions, where you will study modules in archaeology and related subjects. This is an exciting opportunity to develop your understanding of the theory and practice of archaeology outside the UK. You will benefit from the expertise and advice of UCL’s Study Abroad Office and our departmental Study Abroad Tutor. You will need to be in good academic standing and linguistically competent for your exchange destination.
In your final year, you will present a portfolio designed to encourage you to critically reflect on your fieldwork experiences. You will also design, execute and present an extended piece of research on a chosen subject with the help of a supervisor.
Throughout the degree, you will be able to select optional modules that provide an in-depth study of particular geographical regions, periods, and archaeological materials. Optional modules will help you develop practical skills in a range of areas, from topographical surveying to archaeological photography. Optional modules taught by the Institute run on a biennial basis and range from Roman Art and Architecture to Pottery Analysis; from Geoarchaeology to Zooarchaeology; from Amazonia or the Aztecs to Stonehenge, China and Early Islamic Archaeology.
