About Archaeology (with Placement Year) Bsc (hons) in University of Bradford

Overview

Our degree in Archaeology integrates traditional archaeology with the practical application of scientific methods that are applied to today’s archaeology.

It is a professionally-focused degree in archaeology with a strong fieldwork component and a focus on human osteology or the environment.

Your degree pathway in the second and final years will comprise a number of compulsory core modules that characterise this combination of archaeology and applied archaeological science. We offer a number of clear pathways, which will provide you with a specialism in, for example, prehistoric archaeology or in cultural resource management.

The course is underpinned by the opportunity to undertake a placement and by a substantial individual research dissertation in a topic of your own choosing.
