About this course

Take your first step towards a rewarding career in heritage with our BA Museum Studies and Archaeology degree. You'll combine the study of museology with the excitement of archaeological discovery,.

Learn the core skills of curatorship: researching, analysing, cataloguing, interpreting, and displaying museum objects, historic buildings, and landscapes. You'll also explore archaeological techniques and gain practical training on museum practices, perspectives, and ethics.

Your studies will examine our human past through material remains, spanning as far back as the first hominins millions of years ago. Our wide range of modules allows you to shape your own learning, focusing on the topics and periods that most interest you.

At Reading, you'll examine archaeological and heritage issues that are critical to our shared global future, including:

  • diets and health

  • identity and inequality

  • migration and environmental change

  • social and cultural differences.

    A key component of this course is a year abroad that enables you to further your studies at one of our partner universities overseas. Studying abroad is an opportunity to increase your cultural awareness and explore a new location.
