Archaeology explores a wide range of evidence that documents the human past - from artefacts, monuments and settlements to entire landscapes - and from these interprets how societies have adapted and developed. Modules focus on different periods of World, European and Irish/British archaeology, from human origins to modern times and heritage. Queen's University Belfast is one of the best places to study Archaeology in the UK, scoring second place for student experience in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021 and first place for student satisfaction in the Complete University Guide 2021. In addition to progressively developing general and specific knowledge and skills in Archaeology, through excavation, fieldwork, overseas fieldtrips, laboratory and practical work, students on the Archaeology with French degree develop linguistic proficiency in French and analyse Francophone cultures (literature, cinema, linguistics, art, history) in the broadest sense. Between Stages 2 and 4, students on this degree programme spend a year abroad in a Francophone country, studying Archaeology at one of QUB's Francophone partner institutions. At present, for Archaeology this is the University of Burgundy at Dijon, in the heart of metropolitan France. Different French-language entry level options are available on this course, from beginners to students who hold French A-Levels. A wide range of career options are available to our graduates, including careers in commercial archaeology, survey, heritage management and many more, both within and beyond the heritage sector. As well as the BA degree programme in Archaeology with French, Queen's offers Single Honours degrees in Archaeology (BA) and Archaeology-Palaeoecology (BSc) along with other degree programmes which combine Archaeology (the study of past human activities) with other subjects (Languages, Geography and History). All of those Single Honours and Joint Honours degrees offer a module pathway that is fully accredited by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) and University Archaeology UK (UAUK).
