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.
