Overview

Archaeology with Forensic Science is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

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