Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Heritage, Archaeology, and History (VV41)

In this Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Heritage, Archaeology, and History course students will learn through a variety of taught lectures, seminars, and practical workshops. Fieldtrips to visit archaeological sites, museums and other places of interest are an important part of the teaching experience. In the first year they will have around 5 trips to visit local monuments. In the second and third years the field trips vary in length and nature and include local sites, as well as trips to elsewhere in Britain and Ireland. They will also go on training excavations and carry out other practical post-excavation work. Outside this time, they will complete essays, analysis exercises, prepare for seminars and carry out research. Throughout the course they will be supported by teaching staff.

In the first year, students will be assessed through written work and examinations. In the second and third years there is a mixture of written work, examinations, oral presentations, and portfolios - with a number of courses assessed through coursework only. The dissertation forms one-third of the assessment in the final year.
