The Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology program at the University of Southampton Malaysia offers a comprehensive exploration of human history, spanning civilizations such as the Aztecs, Mayans, Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, and the medieval world. Through the study of material remains, this degree delves into the origins of human societies, their transformation over time, and the underlying factors contributing to contemporary human diversity. Students develop transferable skills through hands-on experiences in laboratories, libraries, and fieldwork, gaining the ability to analyze and critically evaluate contested narratives. The program also provides valuable fieldwork opportunities, with students actively participating in research projects for a minimum of three weeks, either within the United Kingdom or abroad, preparing them for future endeavors as archaeologists.
