This Archaeology BA Honours degree focuses on developing your key practical skills. You’ll form a thorough knowledge of archaeology topics – from prehistory to the recent past – and graduate prepared for a varied career in the heritage sector and beyond.
Through hands-on learning experiences, you will investigate the social, historical and cultural contexts in which past societies developed, drawing on evidence from a range of disciplines.
You’ll explore the North East, a region that’s steeped in history while on field trips, and have opportunities to go abroad.
