Choosing Archaeology Archaeology can be taken as part of a BA Joint Honours degree (DN500), or as a single subject honours degree. It can also be taken part time (DN501). Check out the subjects you can study with Archaeology by looking at the diagram on page 33. Details of how to apply for these combinations are on page 184.
Why is this subject for me? Archaeology is a wonderful subject to study and will become a life-long interest. It satisfies our need to understand our past, and it illu- minates how our present has been shaped by that past. If you are fascinated by cave paint- ings, megalithic tombs, bog bodies, crannogs or medieval castles, this course will present you with up-to-date research. If you are inter- ested in a career in Archaeology, this course will provide the necessary foundation. At the heart of Archaeology is a range of practical and intellectual skills – field-research, team-build- ing and problem-solving – which are invaluable for any career.
What will I study? UCD School of Archaeology assumes that stu- dents have no prior knowledge of the subject, and it therefore teaches a course that starts with the basics and ends with specialisms.
First Year
Students are introduced to the archaeology of Ireland and the world, from earliest prehistory onwards, and to archaeological methods includ- ing excavation and radiocarbon dating.
Second & Third Year
Te modules offered are arranged around four themes: A Prehistoric Archaeology
A Historical Archaeology A Landscape and Environment A Material Culture
Students can also work on excavations and in the laboratory as part of their degree course.
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Many graduates have found employment within the archaeological profession, in consultancy, professional contract work, museums and edu- cation. Many more have used the transferable skills they acquired in other sectors, to become: A Business and industry entrepreneurs

I always had a general interest in archaeology so, when I came to study Arts in UCD, I decided to give archaeology a go. I really enjoyed the diversity it offered, the great field trips and the lifelong friends I made. My interest became more than that
and I decided to make a career of it. Te fact that the staff were so approachable helped and through their involvement with the student Archaeology Society they seemed so much more accessible and less daunting. I went on to do a master’s degree in the UK and later decided to come back to UCD to do my PhD.
