Southampton is one of the leading centres in Europe for the study of archaeology, with world class research and teaching ranging from human origins to the modern world, and with field projects across the globe. We have an international reputation for the quality of our teaching and research.
Southampton has been consistently awarded a grade 5 (excellent) in the Government's Research Assessment Exercise since 1992. For the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise Archaeology achieved a national ranking of 5th, one of thirteen disciplines in the University of Southampton to gain an overall top-ten place. It was awarded a maximum 24/24 in 2002 for the quality of the student experience by the Quality Assurance Agency. Last year, it came top of all Archaeology departments in the country in the National Student Survey.
