Hands-on Learning

"There's no substitute for practical experience. Two thirds of employers believe gaining practical experience is the most valuable step you can take to improve your employment prospects. Practical experience brings advantages

that nothing else can match." (Source: 2010 CBI/EDI Education and Skills survey).


Employability: employers and job roles

• Academia• Police forces• Government Agencies NIREX/AAIB• Historic England• Environment Agency• Wildlife / Customs• Health and Safety Executive and Safety/Environment consultancies

• Archaeological Consultancy & Field Units• Museums• Education• International Investigations e.g. InFORCE


Student Focused: What our postgraduate students say

‘Studying here (BU) gave me not just a good scientific foundation but also the skills to practice

the procedures, methodologies and analysis involved in fieldwork. My lecturers were

exceptional and I learnt a lot from their scientific knowledge and international experience.’

‘Highlights of my time studying include anthropology lab, use of real physical remains and simulations.’

‘I really enjoyed the high profile guest lectures with great experiences which they often share with

students.’
