This programme lets students explore the richness of European archaeology, a region that presents innumerable opportunities for archaeological research, through examination of a wide range of periods, geographical areas and themes. The flexible programme lets students tailor their individual studies to suit their interests and take advantage of the experience of the staff, as well as those in related programmes in history, classics and geography.

Students will develop an understanding of European archaeology, with an emphasis on European prehistory, and a knowledge of topics including contemporary theoretical perspectives, methodologies and practice.

This programme incorporates transferable skills and training, while preparing students for a professional role in archaeology or further study at doctoral level.
