Archaeology
Why do burial mounds have such special names? Why is there no primeval forest left in the Netherlands? What makes a jar containing coins and peppercorns such a revolutionary discovery?
In the Bachelor’s Archaeology, you investigate the significance of archaeological artefacts and their impact on the present. You conduct research into the remains of all kinds of cultures, both in the classroom and in the field.

During the Bachelor’s Archaeology, you dive deep into the past and spend a lot of time outside doing fieldwork.
Expanding cities, making roads, laying railway tracks: construction projects abound in Europe. But before construction starts, archaeological research needs to be done. This means there is an enduring demand for archaeologists who can lead excavations and analyse the findings. Ultimately, archaeology is not only about the past, but also about the present. By thinking critically about the role of archaeological heritage in contemporary society.
The Bachelor’s pays attention to the study of earthenware, glass, metal and other materials, the relationship between people and the landscape and the presentation of research results in various media. The programme is unique in the Netherlands for its focus on the whole of Europe: both the Mediterranean area and Central and Western Europe, including naturally, the Netherlands and Amsterdam.
You acquire a strong foundation of knowledge about archaeology in Europe, then zoom in on the historical periods and geographical areas that interest you most. You take courses and work together with students from the other ACASA programmes: Ancient Studies and Greek & Latin Language & Culture. You also do fieldwork placements in the Netherlands, Italy and Greece.
The Archaeology programme is offered in collaboration between the two Amsterdam universities, VU Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam (UvA). All lectures are delivered on the UvA campus in the city centre, next to the Allard Pierson Museum.
Excursions, for example to Sicily, are also part of this programma.
