Museum Studies and Archaeology with International Foundation Year BA (Hons)

Our BA Museum Studies and Archaeology with International Foundation Year course enables you to combine the study of museology with the excitement of archaeological discovery. <br/><br/>This programme is designed for international students.

This means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.<br/><br/>The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study.
