Archaeology/Anthropology Applicants 2013

Brilliant news! Well done!

Did you get your offer through UCAS? And what was your offer, if you don't mind me asking?

Got a questionnaire through from UCL today. It's like the personal statement panic all over again

1. What inspired you to apply to this particular course? (Did you consider any of the other degrees that we offer at the Institute of Archaeology, Anthropology, Art History, or other UCL departments?)

2. Some aspects of your degree will include fieldwork (e.g. excavating / field walking / camping) and other aspects involve time in libraries, museums and laboratories. Which aspects of this do you find most appealing and why? (If you have experience of volunteering at a museum or similar institution, have taken part in any archaeological fieldwork, been on a camping expedition, or have a travel experience that you feel is relevant then do mention these.)

3. Identify an artefact, archaeological site, book or news story relevant to your chosen degree and discuss why it interests you and what studying it can reveal about the past or current concerns. (Maximum of 250 words)

4. Our degrees offer the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills that are equally relevant to employment outside the discipline (Teamwork, Organisation, Information Technology, Data handling, and Multicultural understanding, as well as Writing, Research, Presentation and Communication skills). How will studying this course at University fit in with your current career aims?

5. [For applicants who propose to defer entry to University for a year, or who are already doing so.] How do you intend to spend/are you spending your deferral year and what benefits for your university degree/career do you hope to gain?

6. Do you have any questions or any further information you would like to add or discuss at the interview?


Sorry I took so long to reply, only just checked student room

It's alright,don't worry

It's a lot of questions.. and unfortunately I can't relate to it,because the questions for Anthropology course are different I suppose..

The course I've applied for is Anthropology and Archaeology, yet all the questions related to Aracheology =/

Yeah,wow.. fingers crossed..
and did you include any digging/museum work in your PS?
(or archeology related)

No =/ it was mostly Anthropology based with a bit on visits to different archaeological sites, no actual digging. I think that might be why they're asking so many questions on archaeology.

Anyone applying for Ancient History and Archaeology double honours? I am, just wondering if there's many others on here as it's difficult coming across other people who are! I've applied to Newcastle, Nottingham, Leicester, Manchester, and Trinity Saint David.

I think it's just because the Anth & Arch degree is part of the Archaeology department and they send out the same questionnaire to each candidate who applied to that department, regardless of what degree (if you get my drift?)

That's alright then. Sent it back to them today but accidentally sent it 7 times when hotmail was informing me that it wasn't sending... Oh well, they aren't testing me on my IT skills.

Also got an offer from Bristol so feeling quite pleased with myself xD
