Studying Archaeology at Undergraduate Level: How to Apply

How do I apply for a place on a degree?

Applications to undergraduate courses are handled in the UK by UCAS: The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.

The most up to date and comprehensive information on the application process is provided through the UCAS website.

Before you apply you will need to decide on which courses you want to apply for (you can apply for up to 5 courses via UCAS). To do this we suggest you look for courses that match your area of interest (see previous pages) and then email, phone or write to the universities who run the courses you are interested in to request a prospectus. Alternatively many careers libraries have copies of university prospectus and most universities have their prospectus online on their websites.

You need to consider both the course you are applying for as well as the university itself – it’s accommodation, clubs & societies, facilities, location etc. The Students’ Union of most universities are a good source of this information.
