Aims
The course specialisation aims to:
- Provide students with a general grounding in archaeological theory and method within a global context
- Support students to develop an understanding of how the study of archaeology interrelates with human behaviour and society - past and present
- Provide students with the skills and abilities to make inferences about past human behavioural variability from studies of artefacts, archaeological sites, and associated environments
- Provide students with an opportunity either to concentrate on a particular area of archaeology or to explore a range of sub-discipline areas
- Produce graduates who are able to work independently and collaboratively and who can articulate the value of life-long learning and the continual renewal of knowledge and skills in light of advances in their chosen field
It is envisaged that the graduate qualities embedded in these aims will be introduced at first level, consolidated at the second level and mastered at the third level.
