This course will provide you with an understanding of societies and cultures from a rich variety of historical periods.

You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in many periods of ancient and modern history through a wide range of option modules, enabling you to analyse a diversity of source types and to tackle themes that re-occur and change throughout history.You will also have scope to gain experience with local heritage organisations and schools through Year 3 module placements and our accredited internship programme.The School of Archaeology and Ancient History hosts a world-class, international team of scholars engaged in cutting-edge research and teaching in our twin disciplines of Ancient History and Archaeology.
