Archaeology is for anyone with an interest in their past.
It is a subject that covers a wide range of topics from science to the arts, and a vast time range.
It is essentially a practical subject so there are many field trips and an opportunity to take part in a dig.
Are you interested in what discoveries such as graves, shipwrecks and bog bodies can tell you about human existence through the ages?
Would you like to know more about famous sites such as Stonehenge and finds like the Terracotta Army in China?
If so, then Archaeology is for you.
In your first year you will study the evidence for ritual and religious practices from a variety of prehistoric sites including Stonehenge.
You will also study archaeological methods and techniques used to find sites, excavate them and analyse the results, including dating methods.
In your second year you will have the chance to research and conduct fieldwork on a local site of your choice.
You will also study the social organisation, settlement, technology and economics of examples of past societies from around the world.
All students will take part in many field trips and visits, including going inside the stone circle at Stonehenge.
You will also have the chance to visit some sites abroad, either Ireland to see the megalithic tombs at Newgrange and Knowth or even China to climb the Great Wall and see the Terracotta Army.
Opportunities to take part in local excavations mean that you may even appear on Time Team!
There are two exams in your first year and one exam and a coursework project in your second year.
The skills and practical experience will help you in a whole range of careers where strong skills of methodology and analysis are required.
This subject is one that will stay with you throughout your life as a rich experience and, who knows, you might even be an archaeologist.
Many direct careers include museum and archive work, education and travel.
