32 Student Focused: What our Forensics students say Studying here (BU) gave me not just a good scientific foundation but also the skills to practice the procedures, methodologies and analysis involved in fieldwork. My lecturers were exceptional and I learnt a lot from their scientific knowledge and international experience. Highlights of my time studying include anthropology lab, use of real physical remains and simulations. I really enjoyed the high profile guest lectures with great experiences which they often share with students.

43 Five reasons to study Archaeology & Anthropology Creative subjects combining arts, sciences & humanities Field-based disciplines Passport to a wide range of professions Socially relevant Great Fun! 43

44 Why are archaeology graduates attractive to a large number of employers? Archaeology involves both arts-based and scientific techniques-graduates gain a wide range of skills and experience, broader than in most other humanities or science degrees

45 What our students say. I've really enjoyed studying at BU. The staff are very approachable & willing to help, & there are many opportunities to gain practical experience Emma Bonthorne I found the course very exciting & extremely educational; it has shaped the way I think today.
