Department of Archaeology

 

 

The undergraduate course is spread over 3 years. The modular course is configured to allow maximum flexibility in accommodating specific interests that may develop over the undergraduate years.

After a joint first year, it allows you to specialise in one or more of:

 

  • Archaeology uses material evidence to explore the nature and development of particular societies and to explain the variations and commonalities of the human past.

  • Assyriology is the study of the languages, cultures, history, archaeology and religion of ancient Mesopotamia (Sumer, Babylonia and Assyria).

  • Biological Anthropology explores human evolution, biology and behaviour, and the interaction between biology and culture.

  • Egyptology is the study of the history, languages, society, archaeology and religion of ancient Egypt.
