We are constantly making new discoveries that change our understanding of past human societies.
At Nottingham, archaeology covers the human story from prehistory to the development of the modern world. Using your foundation knowledge from year one, you will select specialist modules such as human bones or medieval castles to complete your degree.
On this course, you will complete 20 days of archaeological fieldwork. This includes taking part in an approved excavation project, or a related placement, in the UK or overseas.
In the core module, 'Communicating the Past' you will consider how best to present heritage to the public, working in groups to create an interactive activity based on your studies. Recent project titles have included:
- Europe’s Ice Age Hunter-Gatherers – museum exhibition design
- Hadrian’s Wall – an Archaeology Escape Room experience
- HMS Royal George – a digital shipwreck tour
- Seeking out Nottingham’s Past – an Archaeology puzzle game
- Travel the Apennine Way – Roman Board Game
Throughout the course, you will gain an understanding of archaeological theory and practice, and a broad view of human culture from around the world. You can also take subsidiary modules from other departments – such as history, philosophy or history of art – or study a language.
