Our heritage is rich but fragile, and understanding and protecting it has never been more important. If you are curious about ancient artefacts, historic landscapes and new discoveries about our shared human past, this part-time course offers an accessible and rewarding route into archaeology.

Taught over two years, the Certificate is designed for adults with little or no prior academic background in the subject – just enthusiasm and a passion for the past. Led by expert tutors and professional archaeologists, you’ll benefit from small-group teaching in a supportive and friendly environment.

Through a mix of evening seminars, Saturday workshops and field trips, you’ll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience examining evidence from Britain and beyond. You’ll also have the chance to pursue your own interests through an extended project.
