About the course
Overview
- Exposure to core methods and issues in contemporary archaeology
- Flexibility to choose subjects around your own interests through a range of options
- You will achieve a respected standalone qualification or training for a PhD degree in line with UK Research Council requirements
- Our location is surrounded by sites of archaeological interest and you may also have opportunities for international fieldwork
Course content
The programme is divided into units of study called modules which are assigned 'credits'. The credit rating of a module is proportional to the total workload, with 1 credit being nominally equivalent to 10 hours of work.
Entry Requirements
We are looking for graduates with a 2:1 or above in their first degree in archaeology, history, ancient history, anthropology, biology, geography, geology, chemistry, heritage, or similar.
While we normally only accept applicants who meet these criteria, if you have a high 2:2 or equivalent, or are coming from a different academic background which is equivalent to degree level, or have relevant work experience, we would welcome your application.
