The BSc Archaeology, Geography and History provides a unique interdisciplinary combination of natural and cultural perspectives on the formation, cultural significance and management of the landscape. Students will bring together the disciplinary skills of archaeology, geography and history whilst developing their understandings of how the landscape shapes humans at the same time as humans shape the landscape. The programme is based in the classroom, field, laboratory and archives, and combines the archival strengths of history, the spatial expertise of geography, and the material analytical approaches of archaeology. The programme will utilise Irish case studies in international perspective. This programme has clear links to the rapidly expanding heritage sector and students will be trained in a range of scientific, social scientific and humanities methodologies.

This is an innovative and relevant degree programme that aims to challenge students to grow as independent learners and researchers. Across our schools, we provide a learning environment that supports and encourages the development of a range of knowledges, skills and attitudes. We encourage students to be engaged, analytical and reflective through the use of independent reading, critical thinking, real-world examples, case studies, fieldwork and practical projects.

6 - Be an inquisitive, flexible and creative thinker with an ability to apply knowledge and skills to a range of contexts
