Study the human past in all its diversity whilst learning the skills that will ensure success in your future career
Archaeology is the study of the human past, from the hunter-gatherers of Ice Age Europe to the inhabitants of early modern cities. As a student at Chester, you will discover what life was like for these past societies, and learn the techniques and approaches that we use to study them. In doing so you will develop a suite of new specific and transferrable skills that will provide the foundation for your future, whatever career you wish to pursue.
