I'm an outdoorsy person,
I’ve always known I'd never 
be happy with a desk job.
It was my passion for the past 
and Indiana Jones
that led me to my postgraduate 
degree in Archaeology.
As much as I love my home country
I wanted a change of scenery 
for my degree
I was drawn to the Archaeology 
undergraduate programme
because of the reputation of the 
University and Edinburgh the city
it’s really stunning and 
there’s so much going on!
Edinburgh gave me the flexibility 
to shape the degree that I wanted.
There's something for everyone here
and the programme doesn't
pigeonhole you
into one specific aspect of Archaeology
The range of things I get 
to learn here is really amazing
from human origins and the Neolithic, 
to the Iron Age and the Classical World.
It's very skills-based.
I feel like the course this year 
has really prepared me
for fieldwork and excavation,
and the Archaeology labs here are amazing!
We have original pottery, metal, 
stone and glass artefacts
for us to analyse and study
And if you choose to do fieldwork 
it can take you all over the world!
The city has so many resources.
There’s libraries, the National
Museum of Scotland...
The National Monument Record has maps and
photographs
that are really useful 
to archaeological research
The Singapore society helps me to 
stay in touch with people from home
and I’m a member of 
the Archaeology Society
which is a great
way for me to really get to know
the other students on my degree
programme.
It's really easy to get 
to know your lecturers well.
Although they are
world-renowned researchers
they’re so willing to meet with you
to discuss essay topics, reference 
letters, or just the week's readings
By studying at Edinburgh, I have 
a much better view of Archaeology,
and of its practical aspects 
within the UK and beyond.
I have developed job skills 
inside and outside the classroom.
The degree has been superb,
giving me valuable hands-on 
experience and opportunities.
An Archaeology degree at 
the University of Edinburgh
enables you to explore your passion 
and discover your potential.
