Our BA Archaeology and Geography with Foundation Year will equip you to study past humans and environments through texts, objects and landscapes.

This programme teaches you how to use a range of evidence - from prehistoric pottery to marine sediment, temporal registers and geographical information - to explore the past. You will gain practical archaeological and geographical experience by participating in a fieldschool where archaeology and geography are brought together by situating sites within the context of landscapes. You will also acquire critical and analytical skills by studying and comparing data and methods from the two disciplines of archaeology and geography.

Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, you can automatically progress on to our three-year, full-time evening study BA Archaeology and Geography.
