• Students share many of the same core modules in their first and second years with the Archaeology BA students. But there will be new second-year core modules for the BSc and the routes differ in the focus of optional modules as students choose modules with a greater (BSc) concentration on scientific analysis and in the topic of their dissertation.
  • The first year provides a solid grounding in the practical and theoretical methods in archaeology and an introduction to major issues in world prehistory.
  • The second and third years provide a more advanced understanding of archaeology and allow students to develop their own specialized interests by choosing optional modules in particular subject areas.
  • In the third year, students are given the chance to reflect critically on their fieldwork experience during the degree through a fieldwork portfolio and write a 10,000-word dissertation on a detailed subject that they will choose with the help of a supervisor.
  • Upon successful completion of 360 credits, students will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Archaeology.
