Archaeology or Archaeology and ancient history?

I'm unsure whether to go for just archaeology or a combined course with ancient history. Are there any benefits or draw backs to doing a combined?

What universities are you applying for? What do you most want out of a course? Are you interested in history, or practical experience, or a mixture? Happy to answer and help out but it's good to find out your motivations first.

Exeter and Southampton are my top two really. Honestly I’m still not sure which one but I’m certain I’ll come up with an answer soon. Honestly I think a mixture of both would be cool, but I’ve been doing standard history learning and I’d like the practical side more if I’m honest.
Idk we shall see haha.
Thanks for your reply!

Ah, okay. Have a look if you can switch the weighting at the end of years, so, for example, at Liverpool (where I went), you could do 50/50 in first year, then switch your weighting to 75/25 in either subject at the end of the year.

If you do a joint course, you will have maybe a tiny bit more of a workload than a standard course, but that comes down to more admin stuff, and most universities manage their joint courses really well, especially if they're popular. So I would say if you want to do both, go for it.
