On this course, you will combine art history and archaeology techniques to explore our use of visual and material culture. You can choose modules spanning from classical civilisations to the present day.
Field trips to local and national archaeological sites, museums and galleries are an important part of the course. You will also complete 10 days of archaeological fieldwork. This will be in an approved excavation project or a related placement, in the UK or overseas.
As a joint honours student, you will benefit from skills development and assessment methods from both subjects. Each subject is taught separately, but you can choose a uniting theme for your final year dissertation.
It is not necessary to have studied archaeology, art or history of art to apply for this course.
Course Details - Modules
You will take 120 credits of modules each year.
In year one, your core module will study the principles and methods of archaeological investigation and art interpretation, making you aware of the key issues in both disciplines. You will also choose from further optional archaeology modules.
There is a requirement for you to complete 10 days of archaeological fieldwork or other professional experience, with funding available to support this.
In year two, your core module will study more advanced approaches and interpretation techniques of archaeological research. You will also choose from a range of archaeology topics and periods for more in-depth study. For history of art, you can choose academic modules which allow you to explore art history in a range of geographical and historical contexts, with an additional work placement option.
In year three, you will write a dissertation in either History or Archaeology, while still taking optional modules in both subjects.
