Course summary
At Bangor University, the sheer variety, preservation and chronological range of heritage, history and archaeology on your doorstep is second to none. On this Heritage, Archeology and History degree you’ll encounter evidence from the past first-hand, studying in a Grade I listed building, and on field trips and archival visits. Specialisms in Archaeology and Heritage cover: prehistoric landscape archaeology; the Bronze and Iron Ages; Celtic societies; early medieval sculpture, church archaeology; Viking-Age Iceland, Britain and Ireland; Medieval Wales and Ireland; Roman Britain; heritage, identity and interpretation; maritime and coastal. Studying Heritage, History and Archaeology gives you a more rounded view of human history. It allows you to discover ancient civilisations, appreciate diverse cultures, and learn from past experiences. You’ll deepen your knowledge and understanding of a wide range of human history and prehistory, and of the presentation of the past in the present. Heritage takes you beyond historic buildings, landscapes, records and other material objects. Taking an analytical approach to the past not only develops your ability to explain and contribute to present legacy, but also develops transferable skills that are highly valued by employers today. Fieldtrips and archival visits bring our Heritage, History and Archaeology degree to life. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch. If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see History (with Foundation Year) V10F.
