Course summary

Explore humanity from its earliest origins to the cultures and societies of today – and gain vital industry experience – with our BA Archaeology and Anthropology with Professional Placement degree.

Our BA Archaeology and Anthropology course allows you to combine two fascinating and related disciplines. Archaeology examines the material evidence from our past and present, while anthropology focuses on human development and contemporary cultures.

A professional placement allows you to apply – and increase – your academic knowledge while enhancing your employability. We encourage all our students to consider any placements that can equip them with skills to support them in their future careers.
