UCL Institute of Archaeology
The UCL Institute of Archaeology is the largest and one of the
most highly regarded centres for archaeology, cultural heritage and museum studies in Britain, as evidenced by its top position in university league tables and National Student Survey results.
It is
one of the very few places in the world actively pursuing research on a
truly
global scale. Its degree programmes offer an unrivalled variety of
courses on a diverse range of topics, and wide-ranging fieldwork
opportunities. The Institute hosts events on many different aspects of
archaeology and
is linked to heritage organisations, museums and archaeological
societies, providing an outstanding research environment for staff,
students and visitors.
