ObjectivesScientific archaeology is a rapidly expanding area of study and one in which our academic expertise and experience in archaeology and chemistry are successfully combined. If you are studying Chemistry A-level and have an interest in scientific archaeology, this could be the programme for you!
Entry requirementsThere are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme – this is called a ‘subject requirement’. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations. Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
