Archaeology unites the sciences and humanities to explore our shared human past. This course allows you to explore a range of scientific approaches in our laboratories and in the field. You don't need to have any scientific or archaeological experience to join the course. You will complete 20 days of archaeological fieldwork. This includes taking part in an approved excavation project, or a related placement, in the UK or overseas. You will also consider how best to present heritage to the public, working in groups to create an interactive activity based on your studies. As well as the wide range of modules offered by the Department of Classics and Archaeology, each year you also have the option to take subsidiary modules offered by other departments such as History, Philosophy or History of Art, or to study a language. No previous experience of archaeology is required.

You will take 120 credits of modules each year. In year one, you will cover the general principles and scientific methods of archaeology. You will also study some of the key aspects and periods. You will choose from a range of optional modules, some of which include elements of ancient history and classical civilisations. You may also choose from a range of complementary modules in other subjects. There is a requirement for you to complete 20 days of archaeological fieldwork or other professional experience, with funding available to support this. In year two, you will study our core 'Communicating the Past' and 'Archaeology: Theory and Practice' modules. You will take a minimum of two archaeological science modules with a strong science component. You will then choose from a range of additional topics in archaeology for your remaining credits, as well as optional modules from other subjects. In year three, you will undertake your own research project and dissertation. You will take a minimum of two modules in archaeological science with a strong science component. You will then choose from a range of additional archaeology topics and modules from other departments, to make up your remaining credits. Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of Humanities, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award.
