At Nottingham, archaeology covers the human story from prehistory to the development of the modern world. Using your foundation knowledge from year one, you will select specialist modules such as human bones or medieval castles to complete your degree. 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. Throughout the course, you will gain an understanding of archaeological theory and practice, and a broad view of human culture from around the world. You will also be able to include modules in other subjects, such as history of art, languages and philosophy. 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 explore a range of thematic and period-based optional modules, as well as those with practical components. You may also choose from a range of complementary modules in other subjects. In year three, you will undertake your own research project and dissertation. You will also choose 60-80 credits of archaeology modules covering a wide array of archaeological topics and periods from prehistory to the medieval world. Some modules include elements of ancient history and classical civilisations. Further options can be taken from a range of complementary modules in other subjects. Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of Humanities, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award.
