Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History and Archaeology

A three year honours degree combining documentary history with archaeology, covering historical method, excavation and survey technique, material culture and a final year project.

North Wales carries dense archaeology from prehistoric through Roman to medieval periods, which puts fieldwork within reach of campus.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History and Archaeology is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the history and archaeology degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the history and archaeology degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the history and archaeology degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the history and archaeology degree does not support a family move.
