Overview

Archaeology BA sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Archaeology is research led, teaching you to handle evidence and build an argument from it. We currently work with 40 universities on this course across 27 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £15.500 to £32.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
