Visting Students

  • The lecture-based modules in first-year archaeology (AR113 and AR115) are open to Visiting Students (please consult the Visiting Students Archaeology Handbook 2017-2018‌ for details)
  • AR1100 (10 ECTs) and AR1101 (5 ECTs) extend over two semesters and therefore accreditation for these module are only available to overseas students who are here for the full academic year. Prior to registering for either of these options please discuss your choice with our Visiting Student Liaison Officer Dr Carleton Jones.

Visiting students should firstly confirm that their home institution permits students to take first-year modules. Further details for modules open to Visiting Students in semester one are in the Visiting Student Archaeology Handbook.
