HomeArchaeologists study the past using diverse methods and evidence, from remote prehistory to the recent past, in all parts of the world, above ground, below ground and under water. UCL’s Institute of Archaeology offers unique opportunities to explore this diversity.
The UCL Institute of Archaeology is one of the world’s largest and most eminent centres for archaeology, with over 70 staff conducting research across the globe. The institute houses a famous archaeological library of c. 80,000 volumes, as well as extensive laboratory facilities and teaching collections. London offers unrivalled opportunities to visit museums, exhibitions and public lectures on archaeology.
You will gain a truly international perspective on archaeology through close interaction with leading researchers from around the world. We offer a uniquely wide range of specialist options, taught in small groups that encourage discussion and hands-on experience.
Teaching methods include lectures, discussions, and practical/laboratory classes. Most assessment is by coursework (essays), but some modules also include an examination. Alternative arrangements are made as needed. Please note that some options are offered on a biennial basis and all run subject to sufficient enrolment. Contact the Affiliate Tutor to confirm details.
