Develop expertise in the scientific and forensic aspects of archaeology with our accredited BSc Archaeological Science degree.
Exciting career opportunities
Archaeology is more than studying the past: it's a discipline that actively prepares you for the job market. You'll develop an impressive range of practical and academic skills, which are highly sought in the archaeology and heritage sectors. With its focus on the scientific aspects of archaeology, your degree is also suited to a career in forensic science.
More than 40 major infrastructure projects are planned across the UK over the next 17 years, and archaeologists are required for exploratory excavations and analysis before construction begins. A 2016 report from Historic England found that England's 3,000-person commercial archaeology workforce will need to grow by 25% over the next six years to meet demand.
Many graduates from the Department of Archaeology use their breadth and depth of expertise across the sciences and humanities to enter careers such as teaching, policing, industry and commerce.
