The four-year BA in Archaeology and Medieval History With a Year of Study Abroad (Integrated Honours) gives you the opportunity to combine the study of the human past from pre-history to the medieval era through its material remains with particular insight into the history of people in the medieval period and also spend a year studying at a partner institution abroad. 

The programme offers a balance between modules covering the medieval historical period and, thematic modules that examine broad social and cultural topics, such as warfare, gender, religion, art and science, as well as modules that provide training in archaeological skills, methods and techniques. It is designed to cultivate the skills of the historian and of the archaeologist, namely, the ability to assess evidence critically, to evaluate different interpretations of the evidence, to construct arguments on the basis of evidence, and to express opinions cogently in speech and in writing.

The year of study abroad introduces novel academic study opportunities and will also provide students with the life skills to compete in an increasingly global workforce, such as cultural adaptability, resilience and independence.
