BA (Hons) Geographical and Archaeological Sciences

This is the first university degree course in the disciplines of archaeology and geography currently on offer in the Irish university system.

Archaeology and geography are two closely related third-level disciplines, with common interests in the fields of anthropology/social science and earth/environmental science.

This degree combines both disciplines in a course that has a strong scientific orientation, with contributions from the computer/information technology and earth/environmental science areas.

The aim is to produce graduates with particular learning and skillsets for different areas of employment in archaeology and geography, as well as a broad range of transferable skills for work in other areas.
