Arabian Nights and Days: The World of the 1001 Nights
The disparate body of literature collected together under the title 1001 Nights, more popularly known as the Arabian Nights, is set primarily in the cities of the medieval Middle East, including Baghdad and Basra in Iraq, Cairo in Egypt and Damascus in Syria. The narratives include characters from all levels of society, from caliphs, princes, princesses and viziers, to poor men and women, as well as magical beings of various sorts. They recount great adventures and supernatural happenings; but among the more marvellous events appear many details of daily life, social activity and urban landscape. This module uses the 1001 Nights as a starting point for a thematic investigation of medieval Arab (largely urban) society. -

Arabic Language Stage 1A
The aim of every language course at the University is to enable you to communicate in your target language (TL) at that particular level and in your particular area of interest. We use the word ‘communicate’ in its widest sense, meaning that you will not only be able to talk to people in the language but also to develop your proficiency in listening, reading, and writing. This means that the module aims for you to understand all the things which affect communication in that language, including knowledge of how the language is used, how it works and how to analyse it, and the cultural contexts in which it is spoken.
This particular module is aimed at complete beginners.
Successful completion of the full Stage 1, over 2 semesters, is approximately equivalent to having reached Level A1 of the Common European Framework or a good GCSE.
Taking this single semester module at Stage 1 will take you part of the way to the outcomes of the full Stage. You are encouraged to take a full language Stage if you want to make significant progress in the language you are learning. -

Archaeological Methods for Fieldwork and Analysis
How do archaeologists find sites, gather data and proceed to make sense of archaeological traces? This module provides a detailed introduction to fieldwork methods and analysis, covering site prospection techniques (e.g., aerial photography and geophysical survey), the basics of environmental and maritime archaeology, the study of standing buildings, scientific dating techniques and excavation. The content is delivered through a combination of lectures and weekly practical sessions. -

Archaeology Dissertation
The dissertation is a key component of your degree, and the culmination of your programme of study. It provides an opportunity to demonstrate the skills of planning, research, data collation, analysis, and communication that you have learned during your prior studies, and allows you to take ownership of an individual, original piece of research. The scope for individual choice of topic is very wide (limited only by what staff are willing to supervise), and you are thus able to use the dissertation as a way to develop an area of Archaeology (cultural, chronological, methodological, theoretical, etc) that has particularly interested you during your programme of study. You will work closely with your supervisor to implement your project plan, producing research that, at its best, has the potential to represent a genuine and original contribution to archaeological knowledge. -

Archaeology Dissertation (60 Credit pathway)
The dissertation is a personal research project of 15,000 words, which is completed with guidance from a personal supervisor. It takes place over the summer period and should involve original research and high-quality formal written presentation of material. The 15,000 limit allows enough space for both analysis and discussion, as well providing the required detailed account of methods used. As part of this module you will give an oral presentation as opportunity to receive feedback from staff and fellow students.
