In the past few years there has been an increase in the need for professional archaeologists and the UAB was one of the first universities to create a study plan specifically designed to meet this need. The UAB's bachelor's degree in Archaeology provides you with the theoretical, methodological and technical knowledge needed in archaeology and other historical disciplines, allowing you to work with the remains from a large variety of periods ranging from prehistory to the modern era.
The UAB bachelor’s degree in Archaeology is one of the four university bachelor degrees in this subject to be offered in Spain. It has received the highest distinction from the AQU quality agency and recognition for its research-oriented profile.
