Course summary
Geography and archaeology are natural partners for exploring questions like these.
In this course, you will study the relationship between people, landscape and the changing environment from prehistory to the present day.
Skills training across the degree includes:
archaeological surveying and recording
cartography
statistics
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
archival research methods
You are required to complete 10 days of archaeological fieldwork. This will be through participating in an approved excavation project, or a related placement, in the UK or overseas.
We work closely with the British Geological Survey and the University Nanoscale and Microscale Research Centre, and offer artefact-handling sessions and educational projects at the on-campus University Museum.
As a joint honours student, you will benefit from skills development and assessment methods in both subjects. Each subject is taught separately, but there are uniting themes.
