This degree offers all the flexibility of the Archaeology BA programme combined with the opportunity to work as a part of a professional team to excavate, survey, study, manage and conserve historic sites and finds. Working alongside the expert staff at Archaeology South-East (ASE), in a stimulating and innovative environment, you will be at the forefront of new archaeological discovery, engaging with the public to promote an understanding of the historic environment.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Core modules in the first year provide a solid grounding in the practical and theoretical methods in archaeology and an introduction to major issues in world prehistory.

The second and fourth years provide a more advanced understanding of archaeology and allow you to develop your own specialised interests by choosing optional modules in particular subject areas.

During year three up to eight students, who have demonstrated an aptitude and commitment in years two and three, will work as a part of a professional team to excavate, survey, study, manage and conserve historic sites and finds. Working alongside our expert staff, in a stimulating and innovative environment, you will be at the forefront of new archaeological discovery, engaging with the public to promote an understanding of the historic environment.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in Archaeology with a Placement Year.
