The University of Liverpool is delighted to announce that all its undergraduate Archaeology degree programmes now offer the brilliant opportunity to qualify with a Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) accreditation. The CiFA accreditation aims to assist students in working towards a career in Archaeology.
Students who study the Archaeology BA, Archaeology BSc or Archaeology of Ancient Civilisations BA either as a full programme or as a minimum 50% component of their degree can select the accredited pathway. The pathway involves taking specific modules each year of the programme and undertaking fieldwork/employability experience.
Honorary Chair of the CIfA Board, Pen Foreman, said: ‘We are delighted that the University of Liverpool’s archaeology department, with a 120-year history, has had programmes accredited through the CIfA and UAUK joint initiative. Students will benefit from the excellence of the staff as well as opportunities to build key skills that will develop a career in the sector, and build the future of archaeology.’
Professor Anthony Sinclair, Professor of Archaeological Theory and Method at University of Liverpool stated: ‘We are very pleased to have been accredited by CIfA for a pathway across our provision in archaeology […] Accreditation helps us demonstrate to our current and prospective students that the professional sector and the nature of professional archaeological work is a significant part of proper training in both the practical and ethical side of archaeology, as well as in the ongoing development of a professional career into the future.’
