Course Description
Are you fascinated by the ancient world and want to delve deeper?
The pairing of ancient history and archaeology gives depth to your historical investigations. You will study complex societies through their texts, art and architecture. You will also learn archaeological techniques, such as surveying and recording.
The course is structured flexibly, allowing you to progress from key skills, theories and methods, to topic specialisation. You can take:
- a mix of Ancient History and Archaeology modules
- integrated Ancient History and Archaeology modules
- Ancient Greek and Latin modules, from beginners' level to advanced
You will also complete 10 days of archaeological fieldwork. You will participate in an approved excavation project, or a related placement, in the UK or overseas.
We work closely with the British Geological Survey and the University Nanoscale and Microscale Research Centre, and offer artefact-handling sessions and educational projects at the on-campus University Museum.
As a joint honours student, you will benefit from skills development and assessment methods from both subjects.
