You can study for an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in either history or archaeology or you can combine the two disciplines. We also offer combined degrees with a range of other subjects. We teach through a variety of lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops and practicals in the field and in the lab. You will benefit from our links with heritage, museum and archive agencies within the city of Chester and beyond.

The Department is also one of the leading research units within the University, with REF2014, the UK’s national assessment of research quality, recognising that the Department produces work of ‘world leading’ (4*) standard.
