Overview

Biomolecular Archaeology is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Archaeology includes quantitative methods at most departments, which surprises applicants who expected essays alone.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.
