Archaeology Honours students are required to meet both coursework and thesis requirements

Coursework: All students are required to take two honours courses (which, combined, contribute 40% of the final mark) and successfully complete all assessment requirements. The latter may comprise essays, annotated bibliographies or presentations. Full-time students will complete these in the first semester, part-time students can study them over two years.

Research: Students are required to undertake a supervised research project on a topic approved by the Archaeology staff of the School and to submit a BA Honours thesis of between 15,000 and 20,000 words in length and suitably illustrated for examination. Its mark comprises 60% of the total requirements for honours. The research may be field, laboratory or library based.
