Careers Day
Are you thinking about a career in archaeology? Want to find out more about how to get started?
Archaeology can be a really rewarding and varied career. The skills you learn in archaeology can take you to lots of exciting places and let you explore your own strengths and interests.
With support from the Royal Archaeological Institute, we've created a series of videos and careers leaflet to help you find out more about the options available:
- Apprenticeships - https://youtu.be/OfDNU0TthSk(link is external)
- University - https://youtu.be/07_j0JvX_Sw(link is external)
- Different Pathways - https://youtu.be/thanRqoW3EI(link is external)
A leaflet to accompany the videos can be downloaded here https://festival.archaeologyuk.org/blog/new-archaeology-careers-videos-1603904043.
You can also read our blog post where current undergraduate archaeology students at the University of York share what they would like to have know before starting university and what inspired them to study archaeology.
