In the Bachelor’s in Archaeology, you will study past societies and their importance in today’s world. The programme devotes attention to the study of various materials, the relationships between humans and landscape, and the presentation of research results in various media. This programme is unique in the Netherlands in how it focuses on Europe – from the Mediterranean to Middle and Western Europe, including, of course, the Netherlands and Amsterdam.

In this Bachelor’s, you will develop academic skills and insight and will learn that archaeology is connected with many other fields of study, such as heritage, landscape, art and history. Not only will you research and excavate the material remains of human activity, but you will also learn how this translates to knowledge about earlier cultures. 

You will learn to use digital, forensic and other modern research techniques, as well as how you can use them to find and analyse archaeological remains. Also, you will examine various remains, such as pottery, coins and bones, in order to discover how humans used to live. With the aid of maps, geological knowledge and computer models, you learn how you can reconstruct a landscape in order to find out what it looked like in the past.
