Archaeology: Fees & Entry Requirements at UCL (University College London), UK

What will I learn?

This programme provides training in archaeology focusing on the analysis of ancient materials and past environments, theoretical concepts and field techniques. Archaeological science addresses important questions about past societies, and there are opportunities to participate in current research using our extensive laboratories and wide-ranging reference collections.The Archaeology BA and BSc share many of the same core modules in first and second year. In the second year BSc students will study a core module in ‘Applications of Archaeological Science’. In this compulsory module you will start to apply analytical techniques used to investigate archaeological questions (such as petrography, elemental analysis, archaeobotany, spatial analysis, and conservation) and discuss the development of analytical projects (research proposal, literature review, methodology, sampling, analytical results, presentation and critique).
