Distance Learning and Campus based courses in Archaeology and
Heritage
* Institute of
Archaeology & Antiquity, University of Birmingham offers
courses in applied archaeology, antiquity, landscape studies, palaeoenvironments,
cultural resource management and the heritage environment. Programmes can be
undertaken via a variety of pathways including short CPD courses, longer
postgraduate certificates and diplomas, through to full-blown masters degrees,
MPhils and PhDs. Students can study many of the courses via Distance Learning,
meaning there is no need to give up working in order to undertake courses, and we
continue to offer campus-based programmes.
Birmingham has been involved with some amazing projects over the past 18 months — from recording Qatar’s heritage and uncovering drowned landscapes in the North Sea, to recovering the Staffordshire Hoard. All our students benefit from the in-depth involvement that the Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity has with real world heritage projects via in-house professional teams at Birmingham Archaeology and the Ironbridge Institute. We are at the cutting edge of research and development in visualisation and technology via the IBM VISTA research centre, and have the academic rigour and support of the College of Arts and Law.
Students can be a part of this from the comfort of their own home, or by coming to the UK’s second city to study — either way they will learn, develop and take new steps towards a successful academic or professional career.

A level archaeology
"Archaeology is one of the most exciting subjects in the current curriculum and
combines elements of many other disciplines including: sociology, history, religious
studies and science.
At A level archaeology offers the student the opportunity to develop critical
analysis of methodological and theoretical approaches used within professional
archaeology. The AQA specification permits the student to study the archaeology of
religion and ritual and archaeological skills and methods during the first year.
During the second year students will learn about world cultures from many periods
and have the opportunity to research and present a piece of course work on a site of
personal interest."
