The degree program, which has been passing since 2003 and was last revised in 2016, is a combined degree program (180 LP, without minor) that combines all five archaeological subjects represented at JGU
Gaining practical experience is an essential part of archaeology degree programs. The examination regulations of the various degree programs take this into account with the practical module (scope: 24 CP for the B.A. Archaeology, 18 CP for the major subjects, 12 CP for the minor subjects) and the requirement to complete a certain number of excursion days. In the examination regulations, only general specifications were deliberately made for the practical module. You have the option of completing related internships from the JGU offer or from external internship providers (as an orientation value: 2 weeks correspond to 3 CP, 4 weeks to 6 CP) and/or individual practical exercises. The type of internship can and should be chosen by the students themselves according to their own interests and perspectives.
The University of Mainz offers an unusually dense range of teaching and research in the field of archaeology among Germany’s higher education institutions. The entire area from the first diplomas of mankind to the advanced civilizations of the Near East and the Mediterranean world, the prehistoric cultures of Europe through to late antiquity and the early Middle Ages are represented by their own disciplines and institutes or departments.
Definition
“Bachelor’s examination” refers to the final examination, passing a written paper and an oral examination. There are no preparatory or accompanying courses, unlike in some other subjects or in the Master’s degree in Archaeology. Please inform yourself about all modalities on the basis of the examination regulations applicable to you.
