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. Studying Archaeology at Queen's progressively develops general and specific knowledge and skills, through excavation, fieldwork, overseas fieldtrips, laboratory and practical work. The integrated undergraduate Masters programme in Archaeology enables students to deepen their theoretical knowledge, to gain additional practical experience and further to broaden their skills base by taking advanced-level modules during their final year. 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 integrated undergraduate Masters (MSci) in Archaeology, Queen's offers a Single Honours BA in Archaeology and a BSc in Archaeology-Palaeoecology, along with several degrees which combine Archaeology (the study of past human activities) and Palaeoecology (the study of past environments) 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).
