Admission requirements
Participation in the Honours College Track Archaeology.
Description
In this module, the participating Honours College students attend a series of guest lectures (once every 2 weeks) about a relevant archaeological theme.
The idea is to focus more on the theoretical aspects of the chosen theme, to discuss them and incorporate them in a reflective paper. The participating students are divided into teams and instructed to choose a sub-theme within the main theme, draw up a bibliography about this theme, study these texts and convert this into a paper in English. This paper will eventually be presented at the end of block 3.
