Archaeology of Egypt and Sudan BA

The Archaeology of Egypt and Sudan BA at UCL is the only UK degree to combine the theory and practice of archaeology, alongside language, with the study of sites in Egypt and Sudan. This specialist degree, the first of its kind, will prepare you for a wide range of careers within the archaeology of Egypt and wider Northeast Africa, museums, heritage studies, and beyond.

Degree structure

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Most of the degree is structured around a combination of core and optional modules. In your first year, you will receive a solid grounding in both the practical and theoretical methods in archaeology, as well as an introduction to major issues in archaeology of Nubia, Sudan and Egyptian archaeology and writing.

The second and third years provide a more advanced understanding of Egyptian archaeology and language and allow you to develop your own specialised interests by choosing optional modules in particular subject areas.

In the third year you are given the chance to reflect critically on your fieldwork experience during the degree through a fieldwork portfolio, and write a 10,000-word dissertation on a detailed subject that you will choose with the help of a supervisor.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in Archaeology of Egypt and Sudan.

Job Opportunity Potential

Throughout the degree, which includes 70 days of fieldwork, students develop the ability to work collaboratively and effectively within teams as well as working independently in order to execute research. Students develop strong research and analytical skills and an appreciation of the importance of recovering primary data through practical experience.

Students learn to communicate effectively verbally, visually and in writing to diverse audiences and develop a sensitivity to different cultures. They also develop excellent transferrable skills providing the experience necessary to work both within the archaeology, heritage and museum sector and in numerous sectors outside of the discipline.

Our graduates go on to work in a diverse range of fields from archaeology (fieldwork, research and academia), heritage, museums, the UK civil service, politics, police, law, engineering, business - the possibilities are extremely wide and varied.
