Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in History and Archaeology

Program Overview

  • Survey a wide range of periods and cultures from the earliest humans to the industrial and post-industrial age
  • Learn from expert tutors and their cutting-edge research
  • Join a student-led history society on trips to sites of historical interest and talks by major historians
  • Study in a beautiful city and explore the rich archaeological history of Winchester and Wessex

In Year 1, you examine the theory and practice of archaeology, including an introduction to fieldwork. You study the archaeology of the historic and prehistoric periods; the methods and nature of history as a discipline in small groups, and choose from a range of optional modules to gain an insight into a variety of historical periods and cultures.

Building on a firm foundation laid in the first year, in Year 2, you may choose to focus your studies on a range of historical themes or societies, while also studying the archaeology of one or more European archaeological periods. You develop an understanding of research skills and knowledge in preparation for Year 3.

In Year 3, you cover topics more intensively and carry out an independent piece of research on a subject of your choice in either archaeology or history.
