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.
