Establish wide-ranging, advanced practical skills, while gaining a deep theoretical knowledge and understanding of the logistical challenges, legal requirements and ethics involved in archaeological fieldwork.
This challenging and rewarding course offers you the perfect blend of theory and practice, devised to meet demand for professional training in the UK and worldwide.

You'll build a deeper understanding of the theoretical, legislative and ethical context of archaeological fieldwork whilst you study among a community of practitioners that is unrivalled in the UK.
