Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Ancient Classical and Medieval Studies

Students can study subjects in Archaeology, Classical Studies and History that cover the Bronze Age to the medieval period, using stimulating and engaging teaching materials.

Year 1 provides a solid foundation in the theory and practice of both history and archaeology and places the ancient and medieval worlds within the broad sweep of human history, along with study skills, fieldwork methods, sources of information and material culture.

In Year 2, students focus on the history and archaeology of Britain, critically study historical sources and develop research methods ahead of the third-year dissertation. Students also choose one optional module in their second year.

In Year 3, students will research and write their dissertation which may include both archaeological and historical evidence, as well as undertaking a Depth Study in History. Optional Year 3 modules may include Themes in European Prehistory; Rites, Religions and Ritual; Popular Culture in the Classical World or Comparative Studies in History.
