Introducing your degree
Take a journey into the past and discover one of the most exciting subjects available! Archaeology at Southampton takes you on a journey from the earliest human ancestors to the reception of the past in the modern world, via the development of agriculture, the origins of civilisation, the Aztecs and Maya, Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire and the medieval world. Southampton is home to world-leading scholars in Archaeology and Anthropology, and we have special interests in maritime archaeology, human origins and human evolution, bioarchaeology and museums. We are passionate about sharing our enthusiasm in our teaching, and our Faculty provides a stimulating and engaging environment in which you will thrive and develop skills in debate, critical thought and analysis.
Your first three years will follow the track of the BA in Archaeology, but the fourth year gives you the chance to develop your strengths and interests with an integrated Masters degree. During this final year, you can either focus on a particular interest or you can opt to maintain a broad and diverse curriculum. These modules you take will allow you to develop the enhanced skills and knowledge that may be required for entering specific workplace settings, and provide the appropriate skills for the wider job market or for your progression to a research degree.
