Embark on a journey through human history with the BSc (Hons) Archaeology at the University of Winchester, a degree designed for those fascinated by the tangible evidence of past societies. You will explore diverse archaeological periods, from the ancient Palaeolithic to the medieval and post-medieval eras, developing a deep understanding of how material culture informs our knowledge of human behaviour and development. This programme is ideal for students eager to uncover the stories hidden within the landscape and artefacts, equipping you with the foundational knowledge and critical perspective essential for a career in archaeology.
This full-time, on-campus degree, typically completed over three years, immerses you in practical archaeological techniques. You will gain hands-on experience in our well-equipped laboratories, analysing human and animal remains, and in the field, utilising advanced equipment like ground-penetrating radar and total stations on sites both in Britain and overseas. Learning industry-standard software such as ArcGIS and AutoCAD, and benefiting from the expertise of our geoarchaeological consultancy, ARCA, you will graduate with a robust skill set, prepared for roles in heritage management, research, or further postgraduate study.
