Archaeology
Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.
The programme in Archaeology teaches how the human past can be understood and studied through anachronistic materials that remain present in modern day. During your course of studies, we will provide you with the academic knowledge required to understand how archaeology is a necessary and important area through which modern society can learn about primitive or ancient societies and cultures on a global scale. We offer a Mediterranean archaeological perspective where you will have the opportunity to put to practice the concepts and theories learned into our field work unit offered during summer recess. We will also encourage you to undergo the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as we believe that a diversified and multi-cultural experience through international learning will provide you with a more refined learning outcome.

The programme of study in French at an undergraduate level will give you an academic lens of the history, culture, language and literature of France. During the course we will instil within you a deep appreciation towards the language in both a linguistic and Literary perspective, as we will help you refine and hone your spoken, auditory and reading prowess in the language. By understanding the influence that the language and nation has had on an international level through the eyes of authors, poets, and countries, you will be more au courante with the history that the contemporary country holds onto and upholds. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diversified learning journey.
