Archaeology

Archaeology is the gateway to our past. By studying material remains throughout history, we can explore what it means to be human.

We cover the whole of the human past, from ancient DNA to recording historic buildings, modern innovations in digital heritage and so much more. Our courses will develop your skills in a broad range of archaeological methods across the arts and sciences, through a combination of hands-on learning and small group teaching.

Our department is world-renowned for the advanced study of archaeology. We’re friendly and welcoming, meaning you'll get to know your lecturers, and they'll get to know you. You'll have endless opportunities to get involved, from joining the Archaeology Society to working abroad on a research project. We have bespoke facilities on campus.
