This course will give you an insight into the scientific techniques that archaeologists use. Archaeology bridges the sciences and humanities. During your BSc in Archaeology, you will develop your knowledge of the scientific techniques that archaeologists use to study ancient societies and learn to integrate scientific approaches with human perspectives on the past. Year one is the same as the BA Archaeology course, but the second and third years allow you to specialize in archaeological modules with a strong scientific component. It is compulsory for you to gain excavation experience in the UK or overseas. Our Archaeology degrees have been designed to provide extensive general training in the discipline. You will get acquainted with a full range of theoretical, analytical and field methods, and you will gain broad view knowledge of human culture from the palaeolithic to the medieval period and an in-depth understanding of some of the most exciting areas and periods of human past. A course in archaeology fosters many vital skills. Researching and presenting your work involves a high degree of creativity and you will learn how to be careful and precise in carrying out analysis of a range of subjects. The course helps you to develop your ability to research and process a large amount of information and to present the results of your research in an articulate and effective way. A degree in archaeology from the University of Nottingham shows potential employers that you are an intelligent and hard-working individual who is flexible enough to undertake any form of specific career training.
