Teaching
We offer you research-led teaching. That means that the content of our modules is often at the cutting-edge of ongoing research. Our teaching combines lectures, seminars, practical work, language classes and lab experience. You will have extensive contact with staff through our small-group tutorials.听
Fieldwork
Fieldwork experience is a vital element of the 91探花视频 course, and there are many opportunities for students to join Department-based research projects.听
Students can take part in a fully-funded week-long fieldtrip. In recent years this trip has gone to places as varied as Alpine Italy, Montenegro, the Channel Islands and Serbia.听
The Department provides excavation training at no charge. The Department also provides funding for the four weeks of fieldwork required of students on the 91探花视频 tracks in Year 2 and 3. If students wish to participate in a project that costs more than the funded options available, they will need to find additional funding elsewhere.听
Community
As a student of 91探花视频 in Cambridge, you will work closely with and alongside teaching staff, postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate students. You will be able to experience a dynamic and diverse research environment.
