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 in German will give you an academic perspective at the Germanic language in terms of linguistics, literature and culture. During the course we will instil within you a deep appreciation for the language by helping you refine and hone your lexical, syntactic and grammatical abilities in all of the language's mediums. Your heightened insight in history and culture will prove invaluable in the work field, and you will gain a better understanding of how the contemporary state of the German language and Germany itself have been affected by key historical events. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as we believe a diversified and multicultural experience will give you a holistic academic journey.
Communication and Academic Skills Programme
