Ancient History and Archaeology

About this programme

Combining the overlapping disciplines of archaeology and ancient history, this course offers an exciting journey through the human past, across diverse time periods and regions. Archaeology uses both arts and science methods to uncover and interpret ancient societies through their material remains, helping us bring the past to life. Ancient history complements these archaeological techniques by interpreting written records, particularly from the Greeks and Romans, whose history shaped much of the world we know today. You will gain valuable skills for the workplace, from critical analysis and research to teamwork and communication. Beginners are welcome on this course! You do not need any prior experience of archaeology or ancient history – our year one modules are designed to give you a university-level foundation.
