Archaeology
Progression Summary
**Evidence shows there’s been a huge surge in demand for archaeologists in the UK following a sharp rise in infrastructure projects, so there’s never been a better time to study this degree at BU.** **Why study BA (Hons) Archaeology at BU?** - Take the degree as a BA or BSc according to whether you prefer an arts-based or scientific route. Everyone studies the same first year so it’s easy to transfer from one to the other - Become a highly skilled practitioner experienced in all forms of landscape survey, remote sensing, excavation and recording - Learn through expert-led lectures, seminars and an exciting range of relevant fieldwork opportunities all over the UK - Undertake a five-week or optional 30-week work placement, you may get to take part in excavations organised by our active team of archaeologists - Attend BU’s Field School, a large-scale real site excavation where students have discovered significant finds that have changed the way we view the past - Within 15 months of graduating, 80% of students were in employment or further study (source DiscoverUni 2023).
