Archaeology with Chinese BSc (Hons)

A combined BSc in Archaeology (Science) (75%) offers the chance to explore the long-term histories of human societies through their material remains and impact on past environments. Through lectures, seminars, practicals, and laboratory classes—including four weeks of archaeological fieldwork—you will gain a thorough grounding in archaeological methods, theory, and professional practice (accredited by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists). You will also develop valuable transferable skills in teamwork, communication, critical analysis, and independent research, culminating in an archaeology dissertation in your final year. Please note that it is not possible to move from 75% to 50% in this degree.

Students taking 25% Chinese with the year abroad will also enhance their understanding of aspects of life and culture in China as well as developing their proficiency in the language, their intercultural and transnational awareness and communication abilities, and their practical and interpersonal employability skills. The Year Abroad enhances the students’ abilities to communicate in Chinese,  deepens their intercultural competence, and equips students with qualities of self-reliance and independence.

Combined Degrees

Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law.
