Course Overview

Our degrees provide transferable skills in communication, presentation, critical analysis, and teamwork. This will be critical for your future career, whether it is in archaeological studies or in one of the wide range of professions that attract our graduates. It doesn't matter if you have little or no previous experience in archaeology; we have designed our courses for maximum flexibility. This allows you to choose how you want to specialise or diversify as your knowledge and understanding develop.

Practical experience is a key part of the course. You will participate in excavations and learn various fieldwork techniques throughout your degree to equip you with the skills and knowledge to interpret what you unearth. You will have the opportunity to gain experience with local heritage organisations, schools, and our professional archaeological unit through Year 2 and 3 module placements, and our accredited internship programme.

You will have the chance to study a diverse range of topics during your time here. Our academic staff has particular expertise in Roman archaeology, prehistory, historical archaeology, heritage, archaeological theory, and archaeological sciences, as well as all aspects of Classical (Greek and Roman) history.

Leicester is world-famous for our discovery of Richard III, and you’ll benefit from working alongside academics who have made incredible finds.
