Group 1 Core Courses
Exploring the Past: Archaeology
Archaeologists do much more than dig. This course offers an introduction to archaeological methods and interpretation on a case-study basis. It covers topics such as how sites are discovered and excavated, how long is the archaeological past actually is, and who do we really study it for? It then introduces some of the techniques that allow a reconstruction of life in the past.
Exploring the Past: History
Where do our national identities come from? Why do we feel Welsh or Scottish or Irish or English? This course will seek to answer these questions through a stimulating series of case studies on identity in the British Isles. At the same time it will introduce you to some of the skills that you need to get the most from historical study.
Exploring Religion: Past & Present
Through a series of stimulating case-studies on world religions throughout the ages, this course considers the study of religion from a variety of perspectives including historical, anthropological, textual, and psychological. In so doing it will equip you with study skills necessary for studying religion in an academic context.
