2. Description of the Programme

Exeter’s archaeology degrees enable you to explore both the academic and practical dimensions of a uniquely fascinating discipline. Building on a firm foundation of the subject provided in the first year, the degrees give you a wide variety of choice to follow your particular interests. These can cover the microscopic analysis of ancient artefacts to the exploration of entire fossilised landscapes, from understanding prehistoric villages to recording historic buildings; the subject is broad, multi-disciplinary and dynamic. As you work through your degree, you can develop your own specialisation, culminating in a dissertation supported by one-to-one tuition.

Studying anthropology at Exeter offers you a unique experience of the discipline, covering its different aspects and subfields, including social/cultural anthropology, archaeological anthropology, and physical anthropology. You will explore both the empirical work that anthropologists have produced as well as the exciting theoretical debates that drive the discipline, and have the opportunity to acquire a range of methods and research skills. You will develop a critical understanding of contemporary and past society and culture, through the lens of a broad range of case studies in different geographical and cultural setting. A wide range of options on topics as varied as childhood, human-animal interactions, consumption, Africa, and ethnomusicology, will let you pursue your personal interests in depth. You will also have the opportunity to trace the human story from pre-history onwards and learn how human beings have evolved, adapted and formed societies in the past in modules in archaeology and physical anthropology.

In your first year, the modules you take will give you a solid grounding in the techniques of archaeology and the key topics that archaeologists study in all periods, from the earliest times to the later Middle Ages. Anthropology modules will focus on social and cultural anthropology. You will study fundamental questions about society and culture, investigating the rich diversity of human life across the globe. In the second year you will advance your grasp of archaeological and anthropological knowledge and methods through a set of compulsory modules, including fieldwork. Optional modules enable you to develop specialist knowledge on a range of topics. The centre-point of the final year is the dissertation. This provides you with the opportunity to explore an area of interest and to demonstrate what you have learned over the previous years of your degree. You will also take up to three other specialist modules to create a programme of work fully reflecting your interests.

This programme is studied over four years. The first two years and the final year are university-based, and the third year is spent gaining employment experience at a suitable location in the UK.

This Employment Experience variant of the programme is a great way to incorporate graduate-level work placement or placements undertaken in the United Kingdom directly into your programme of study, to reflect critically upon these experiences, and for them to count towards the assessment of your degree. There is no better way to gain valuable employment experience that can be rewarded and recognised clearly by future employers. With preparation, support and approval from the College of Humanities, you can also demonstrate adaptability and resourcefulness by organising suitable placements in areas of employment related to your interests and potential future career.

You are required to find your own placement with suitable employers and organisations with preparation, support and approval from the College of Humanities. If you are taking this variant you are strongly encouraged to take HUM2000 or HUM2001 (Humanities in the Workplace) at stage 2 and must participate in the pre-departure briefing sessions for Humanities Employment Experience.

Advice and guidance on your programme can be sought from your personal tutor and programme director. All staff offer regular office hours that you can drop into without a prior appointment for this purpose.

3. Educational Aims of the Programme

You will acquire advanced competence in core academic, personal and key skills, providing a basis for career progression in the academic and professional worlds. You will be exposed to a variety of teaching and assessment methods within appropriate learning environments, supported by feedback and monitoring. You will also be given an opportunity to develop your independent study skills through a piece of individual research.

The programme provides an intellectually stimulating, satisfying experience of learning and studying, and forms a sound basis for further study in archaeology, anthropology or related disciplines. It aims to develop a range of subject-specific, academic and transferable skills, including high order conceptual literacy and communication skills of value in graduate employment. This programme encourages you to become a global citizen, a productive, useful and questioning member of society, and provides thorough training for further study or a specialist career. You may utilise the skills you develop in a range of sectors, including heritage, museums, archaeology, consultancy, the Civil Service, education, teaching, research, and charities.

The programme is intended to:

Encourage graduates to become useful, productive and questioning members of society.
Provide you with a stimulating and supportive environment that is informed by research where deemed appropriate.
Work in partnership with you to produce graduates who are grounded in the main themes of archaeology through a combination of both broad and detailed focuses on particular aspects of the past, study of a range of time periods, and study of different geographical areas.
Work in partnership with you to produce graduates who are grounded in the main themes of social anthropology through a combination of modules which develop a deep understanding of the diversity of societies and cultures, and can think comparatively and analytically about key questions and problems in studying the worlds of other people and our own.
Offer a structured framework of study which ensures that within the time span of the programme every student follows a balanced and complementary range of modules, whilst allowing sufficient choice to ensure that you are able to follow individual areas of learning.
Work in partnership with you to produce graduates who understand the various methods which archaeologists and anthropologists use to study past and present human societies; and who can analyse the organisation and development of societies and gain competence in dealing with the various types of evidence and the methodological problems associated with studying historical and contemporary cultures.
Develop your competence in the subject-specific skills required in archaeology and in anthropology through practical engagement with primary and empirical data.
Expose you to different teaching and assessment methods within an appropriate learning environment, supported by feedback, monitoring and pastoral care.
Provide a range of academic and personal skills which will prepare students from varied educational backgrounds for employment or further study, which will foster mental agility and adaptability, and which will enable you to deploy your knowledge, abilities and skills in their entirety, displaying balance and judgement in a variety of circumstances.

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) On successfully completing this programme you will be able to:	Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) will be...
	...accommodated and facilitated by the following learning and teaching activities (in/out of class):	...and evidenced by the following assessment methods:
1. Understand basic archaeological techniques and appreciate their major advantages and disadvantages. 2. Appreciate the relationship between data collected in the field and its interpretation. 3. Identify the different roles of professional archaeologists. 4. Understand the chronology of archaeological periods and the main themes in European archaeology from early prehistory to the end of the Middle Ages. 5. Show familiarity with some key archaeological sites and finds. 6. Show competence in the various techniques of practical Archaeology and an understanding of their problems and possibilities. 7. Use appropriate archaeological terminology. 8. Deploy information from technical projects. 9. Demonstrate understanding (at increasing depth, according to level) of thematic/methodological issues (increasingly complex, according to level). 10. A basic understanding of the extent and nature of human diversity and commonality as seen, in particular, from a social and cultural perspective. 11. an understanding of how human beings shape and are shaped by social and cultural contexts. 12. an appreciation of the relationship between local social and cultural forms in relation to broader global and historical processes. 13. an awareness of, and facility in, the use of the repertoire of key concepts, theories and methods of anthropological analysis. 14. a basic appreciation of the social and historical processes that influence the objects of anthropological study. 15. a well-developed capacity to question cultural assumptions. 16. an ability to recognize some of the ways in which anthropological knowledge and insight can be applied in a variety of contexts. 17. a good understanding of the ethical implications of anthropological enquiry and qualitative research more generally. 18. a solid ability to conduct research, within supportive guidelines, drawing on primary and secondary sources. 19. Present work in the format expected of historians, including footnoting and bibliographical references.	1-3 are developed initially through ARC1020 followed by ARC2003/4 and developed in increasing sophistication through options during the second and final stages. 4 and 5 are developed through ARC1010 and then through various thematic options in the second and final stages. 6-8 are developed through ARC1020 in stage 1 and in stage 2 through ARC2003/4, and ARC3000 in the final stage. 9 is developed through the optional thematic modules taken across all stages. The level of competence expected of you increases in each stage of the programme. Methodological issues are introduced through ARC1020 and developed through ARC2003/4. The chronological and thematic framework is introduced in ARC1010 in stage 1 and developed through many options in the second and final stages. ARC3000 in the final stage brings the methodological and thematic elements together in an independent research dissertation. Anthropology will be taught in lectures (in stage 1, ANT1004, ANT1005 and ANT1003) to introduce the discipline and these are supported by tutorials where lecture content and course readings are discussed. There are core readings to be done on a weekly basis and further readings in preparation for or as part of assignments and assessments. ANT1011 has three introductory lectures but mostly consists of group work (leading to a group presentation and team report) and individual project work supported by weekly group discussions. Second and final stage modules (except the dissertation) consist of lectures and seminars which again will require both weekly readings in preparation of seminar discussions and further readings for assignments and assessments. The dissertation will be mainly based on independent readings under the guidance by an assigned supervisor. You will only partly have prescribed readings and will need to find texts using the library resources including the electronic library. Further you will need to use the internet to source information and deploy that information adequately in accordance with a competent assessment of the nature of the source. Seminars and tutorials will require your active participation.	Archaeology modules will be assessed by essays, reports and/or exams and also individual and group presentations (ILOs 1-9). Exams in the introductory module (ARC 1020) put particular emphasis on ILOs 1, 5, 6, 7. Fieldwork reports in ARC2003/4 will focus on ILOs 1, 2, 3, 6. The dissertation module (ARC3000) will assess all ILOs. Anthropology modules will be assessed by essays and/or exams and also individual and group presentations (ILOs 10, 11, 13, 14, 16). Exams in introductory modules (ANT1004 and ANT1005) will lay additional emphasis on ILO 11. The methods modules (ANT1008, ANT2002, ANT2004) will also include specific assessment items such as mini projects and research proposals (ILO 12, 15) and methods specific written assignments (ILOs 10, 12, 15). The dissertation module (ANT3040) will assess all ILOs.

Demonstrate receptiveness to cultural difference and cross-cultural variation and ability to see the specifity one's cultural perspective.	These skills are developed throughout the degree programme, but the emphasis becomes more complex as you move from stage to stage. They are developed through lectures and seminars, written work, and oral work (both presentation and class discussion). In Archaeology, these skills are developed through a mixture of teaching and learning methods including lectures, seminars, practical classes/fieldwork and tutorials. The assessment is made through a combination of examinations (including essays and gobbet passages for comment); term-time essays and oral presentations. Anthropology: see above.

Each academic programme in the University is subject to an agreed College assessment and marking strategy, underpinned by institution-wide assessment procedures.

The security of assessment and academic standards is further supported through the appointment of External Examiners for each programme. External Examiners have access to draft papers, course work and examination scripts. They are required to attend the Board of Examiners and to provide an annual report. Annual External Examiner reports are monitored at both College and University level. Their responsibilities are described in the University's code of practice. See the University's TQA Manual for details.

Subject areas are reviewed every five years through a College Academic Audit scheme that includes external contributions.
