ARCHAEOLOGY: - Archaeology is the study of how people in the past interacted with their world, through a detailed study of their objects, sites and monuments and the contemporary uses of heritage. You will have the opportunity to gain practical fieldwork skills in the UK and also abroad. Recently students have worked in Cyprus, Greece, France and Iceland. ECONOMICS: - In studying economics you will learn how individuals and society make choices about how scarce resources are used, what products are produced and who gets to consume them. These choices depend on evaluating costs, benefits, risks and effects on others. Economics at Glasgow dates back to Adam Smith, who was a Professor at the University in the 18th century and is widely renowned as the father of modern economics.
