Archaeology is the study of the past through the traces or material remains which survive into the present. Studying with Cambridge ICE will help you develop your own archaeological expertise through the analysis of religious and ritual beliefs, death and daily life of past peoples by examining what they left behind.
We offer a broad range of short and part-time archaeology courses, for newcomers to the subject and for those who have studied archaeology before.

The Undergraduate Certificate in Archaeology of Ancient Britain will be running in 2020/21.
Our Certificate courses are taught at FHEQ Level 4 (roughly equivalent to first-year undergraduate level). These are entry level qualifications and are designed to kick off your archaeological studies. Many certificate students go on to study higher level qualifications, such as a diploma, following completion of a certificate.
| Diploma in Archaeology: Death and the Ancient World | Register Interest |
This Diploma course is taught at FHEQ Level 5, equivalent to second-year undergraduate level. Diplomas are open entry, meaning that you can begin your study of archaeology at Diploma level, although background knowledge at Certificate level is recommended.
| Advanced Diploma in Research Theory and Practice | Register Interest |
| Advanced Diploma in Research in the Arts/Sciences | Register Interest |
Our Undergraduate Advanced Diplomas are research-based courses (FHEQ level 6), which give you the opportunity to work closely and collaboratively with qualified researchers in your field. You will be introduced to a research community and will begin to forge an identity as a researcher in your own right.
