预科课程 预科课程的学位课程是为有能力攻读学位但没有必要的正式资格才能直接进入其所选荣誉学位课程的学生而设计的。从您刚开始的第一周开始，您就将与专业的考古学家一起工作，学习如何在实地进行挖掘-此极为实用的课程在实践，讲座和实地考察之间平均分配，旨在为您提供一个广泛的考古学常识，尤其是英国的考古学。您每年将花费四个星期在英国和/或国外进行安置，进行现场挖掘，进行实际发现并帮助进行前沿研究。
Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree, but don't have the necessary formal qualifications to enter directly onto their chosen Honours degree programme. Right from your very first week, you'll be out working the mud with professional archaeologists, learning how to dig on live sites - this extremely hands-on course is split evenly between practicals, lectures and fieldwork and is designed to give you a wide general knowledge of archaeology, focusing in particular on the archaeology of Britain. You'll spend four weeks each year on placement in the UK and/or abroad, working on live digs, making real discoveries and helping carry out cutting edge research. The study of Archaeology focuses on our understanding of past cultures, patterns of resource use and ways of life through an examination of a variety of evidence including artefacts, human remains, the landscape and documentary records. The systematic recovery and critical interpretation of such evidence is essential to the development of archaeological knowledge.The Archaeology degree at UCLan is a wide-ranging and practically-based single honours degree, allowing our students to gain vital experience and build contacts with working archaeologists. Undertaking a substantial research project in the final year, leads to the Master of Science award.The practical emphasis starts at the beginning of the degree, you spend their first week on one of the University's training excavations learning how to dig. Teaching on the rest of the degree is split evenly between practicals, lectures and fieldwork. You will also spend at least eight weeks on placement – working on real excavations, helping to do cutting-edge research.<br><br>You will spend at least eight weeks on placement – working on real excavations and helping to do cutting-edge research. Some of these digs are research projects run by UCLan staff, but we also encourage more experienced students to organise their own placements with external organisations, either here or abroad.You'll have the chance to go on a two-week study field trip to Kenya in your final year, a unique opportunity to live and work among the Maasai people and study the archaeology of their country. UCLan Archaeology has a selection of international opportunities across the globe. Past projects where student have participated include California, Spain, Albania, Israel, and Mauritius. Current projects include Prehistoric and Historical Archaeology of California, the archaeology of the Great War, with fieldwork on the Somme, in France, and the archaeology of prehistoric Ireland.
