This course will provide you with a excellent understanding of the prehistoric human past and the methods used to investigate the material remains of past communities. You'll develop a global, critical perspective on past societies and their diverse ways of life from the time of the ice ages to the origins of farming, and you'll acquire the intellectual and practical skills necessary to discover, interpret and communicate all kinds of archaeological evidence. The course integrates theory and practice, combining teaching in the classroom, laboratory and field with opportunities to participate in worldwide, research-led excavations. The learning and assessment percentages could vary depending on the modules you choose. On completion of this course many graduates work in archaeology, in commercial units, national and local government, the charitable sector and university departments. Some choose to study for a postgraduate degree. Others have gone into journalism, teaching, the police, health care and classical music.
