This course will open up new worlds. You will develop a wide variety of transferrable skills whilst exploring questions about people in the past and in the present. 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. In this course you will be assessed by more than simply essays and exams. Depending on the modules you choose, you will work in groups and teams; make presentations; submit group projects; undertake fieldwork; create portfolios and manage larger research projects such as dissertations. Your academic advisor will be available to provide regular and supportive advice, guidance and feedback on your progress. 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.
