Modules

You will take 120 credits of modules each year. In year one, you will study two core modules (80 credits) which give an integrated introduction to the culture and history of Greece and Rome and their reception. You will also study core modules in archaeology, focusing on how we discover, excavate and record archaeological sites, and study elements of prehistoric and historic archaeology. There is a requirement for you to complete 10 days of archaeological fieldwork or other professional experience, with funding available to support this. In year two, you will take 40-60 credits of core modules covering the general principles, methods and theories of both subjects. The optional modules are wide ranging across three groups; classical civilisation, archaeology, and integrated. You also may begin or continue to study Ancient Greek or Latin at the appropriate level of prior language attainment. These modules will be taken in place of other ancient history optional modules. In year three, you will write a dissertation in either Ancient History or Archaeology, or you may combine the two. You will choose 80 credits of optional modules from the integrated module group, or maintaining a mix of ancient history and archaeology modules. As with year two, you may begin or continue to study Ancient Greek or Latin at the appropriate level of prior language attainment. These modules will be taken in place of other classical civilisation modules.
