Our compulsory modules ensure you receive a solid training in archaeological research while our optional modules allow you to specialise in particular fields of interest. Lectures, seminars and practical activities give you an understanding of the interpretive approaches that archaeologists adopt and help you better understand the methodologies and sources available to apply to your own research.

You only need to choose a minimum of three modules (60 credits) from a specific pathway, you can choose the remainder from any module listed in any of the pathways.
