Archaeology BSc (Hons)

Overview

At BU, we recognise that placements are extremely valuable and can give you a head start when it comes to your future career, therefore we will be offering every new student the opportunity to undertake an industrial placement from 2012.

Work placements are a great way to improve your employability. It is an opportunity for you to experience the life of an archaeologist with reputable employers in the UK or abroad. The placement lasts for 5 weeks and often leads to further offers of experience and employment.

Students have attended placements with some of the leading UK archaeological organisations including Wessex Archaeology, Cotswold Archaeology, local and regional museums, and foreign placements, often via the Grampus programme, for example in Cyprus, Finland and Iceland.

We will provide a great deal of help and support to ensure you achieve a rewarding and satisfying placement. We have an in-school Placement Officer who will assist you in finding a placement as well as a database of nearly 900 organisations who have acted as hosts for our students in previous years.
