Undergraduate Programme

Archaeology is offered via a three-year BA (Own Choice) programme. A 65% aggregate for third-year subjects allows students to embark on a one-year honours degree, successful completion of which allows them to apply for membership of the Association of Southern African Professional Archaeologists (ASAPA).
