Bachelor of Engineering [B.Eng] [Computer Systems Engineering] From University of Kent

At The University of Hull studying the Ba History and Archaeology (Hons) enables you to view the past on a global scale whilst also investigating the intricacies and detail of more regional perspectives. Our staff are active researchers, and their expertise underpins the diverse range of modules available.

The programme starts by examining broad time periods to allow you to understand chronologies, landscapes and artefacts. It then examines the character, acquisition and interpretation of the evidence through which we can know and understand the past. Practical skills form a key part of the programme, and we provide all students with in-house fieldwork training on our research excavations. Your digital skills will also be developed to enable you to assemble, handle, interrogate and interpret data using the latest technology.

Future Prospects

Our graduates have used their historical and archaeological knowledge to develop careers as academic librarians, archivists, heritage managers, museum/gallery conservators, field archaeologists, records managers and information officers.

Other graduates have found success in sectors as diverse as accountancy, auditing, television and radio, journalism, local government, publishing, marketing, finance and banking, while some have used their archaeological expertise to gain employment in local planning authorities and conservation businesses.

Many graduates have elected to continue their studies by taking a masters degree in History or Archaeology, a postgraduate certificate in education or a vocational training course in areas like museum studies, librarianship, heritage studies and archive management.
