Program Overview

From the Aztecs and Mayans to Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire and the medieval world, you'll study the story of human activity and the origins of civilisation. A BA in archaeology explores how human societies came into being, how and why they changed over time, and the underlying reasons for human diversity today.

Archaeology is the study of the human past through its material remains. Our archaeology bachelor degree teaches you transferable skills through exploring questions about people in the past and in the present. You'll learn in the laboratory, the library or in the field and develop the skills needed to explore contested narratives.

You'll have the opportunity to experience fieldwork, including at least 3 weeks as part of an active research project. This is usually done during the summer period, and may be in the UK or overseas, preparing you for a career as an archaeologist.

BA Archaeology covers a wide range of world archaeology. You can study topics such as:

  • Excavation and field survey techniques
  • Underwater archaeology
  • Artefacts analysis
  • Medieval archaeology
  • Museums, heritage and public archaeology

Archaeology combines the humanities and the sciences, working with historical texts and artefacts. You'll develop a range of transferable skills, including:

  • Evidence-based reasoning
  • Problem-solving
  • Project management

This archaeology BA degree gives you the opportunity to study a minor subject alongside your main programme.

We’re also offering up to 10 bursaries of £1000 each to incoming students (subject to criteria). These are from the Terry Mason Bursary and the University of Southampton Archaeology Bursary Fund.

    Scholarships

    Exetended Scholarship For Sep 2026 Intake 

    Undergraduate Global Excellence Scholarship is £ 3,000

    Weve extended the deadline for our £4,000 Excellence Scholarship until 31st July, giving you more time to take advantage of this opportunity.

    In addition, we’ve launched a new £2,000 Vice-Chancellor’s Global Achievers Award, as we welcome Professor Phillip Wright as Acting Vice-Chancellor.

    This means you now have the opportunity to secure up to £6,000 in guaranteed scholarships.”

    Eligibility & Conditions (Clear + Positive Framing)

    • To be eligible for the £2,000 Vice-Chancellor’s Global Achievers Award, you’ll need to pay your £2,000 tuition fee deposit by 30th June. If you’re eligible for another Southampton-funded scholarship, you could even receive additional funding: 

    For example, Business School students may qualify for: 

    • £9,000 Dean’s Scholarship → plus £2,000 (50% Excellence) + £2,000 VC Award = £13,000 total
    • £5,000 Merit Scholarship → plus £2,000 (50% Excellence) + £2,000 VC Award = £9,000 total

    The good news is that this deposit is not an extra cost—it’s fully deducted from your tuition fees, along with your scholarship.”
    If you need more time to pay the deposit, we may be able, in exceptional circumstances, agree to a late extension, but to guarantee at least £6000, we advise you to make the deposit as soon as possible and by the 30th of June.
