Course Overview:

The degree encompasses multiple tracks: Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Assyriology and Egyptology. You can specialise in your chosen track already in Year 1, or combine them in Year 1 and specialise from Year 2.

There is further information about the course on the University and Division webpages.

There are no specific subject requirements requested by the College.
