About the course

Create a bespoke degree that reflects your unique interests and ambitions through one of our two pathways: Bioarchaeology or Cross-discipline.

You'll choose from two different pathways to design your own course through a combination of core and optional modules. You'll have the choice of the Bioarchaeology or Cross-disciplinary pathway. The Cross-disciplinary pathway is suited to students who desire greater freedom of choice outside of the core modules or wish to study a combination of organic and inorganic materials.
