Archaeology: Further Opportunities For Part-Time Study

In October of 1996, there will be intakes to the University's part-time Certificate and Diploma in Archaeological Studies. Courses are run at Canterbury and Tonbridge. Designed for those who can study only on a part-time basis, admission does not require formal academic qualifications. Other indications of aptitude, together with commitment and enthusiasm, are equally relevant. Applications should normally be made before the end of July, although later applications will be considered if places remain.

The Certificate in Archaeological Studies investigates the character of archaeological evidence and how it may be used to further understanding of past societies. Particular periods of the archaeology of Britain will be examined, from the Upper Palaeolithic through to the early Anglo-Saxons.

The Diploma in Archaeological Studies extends the geographical scope to Europe and the Mediterranean. Archaeological approaches to contrasting cultures will be compared, for example, the ancient Egyptians, the prehistoric Celts, and the peoples of the western Roman Empire. There will be a focus on the development of skills that help students undertake independent academic project work in archaeology.
