Course Key Topics
the Egyptology (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: The Land and People
This initial module sets the scene for the historical modules to follow and examines the land and people of Ancient Egypt. The River Nile was (and still is) the source of life for Egypt and the culture that resulted depended on this mighty river for its very existence. The Geography of Modern and Ancient Egypt are identified including discussion of the Nile Delta and the Faiyum.
Egypt’s Ecology and Environment as well as the natural resources that the ancient Egyptians exploited are also considered. The module also investigates the locations of ancient towns, cities and archaeological sites that have been found along the Nile Valley, as well as the various different peoples who lived there. The unit also provides a chronology of ancient Egypt and briefly explores the legacy of ancient Egypt’s heritage for us all.
Module 2: A History of Egyptology
The second module of the course focuses on the history of exploration and research of Egypt that began in the 18th century and has continued through to today. This module will take you on a journey with the Western explorers of Egypt and will also highlight the attitudes and interpretation of Egypt’s ancient ruins during the Medieval and Renaissance periods.
With the French expedition by Napoleon to Egypt in 1798 we see the birth of what is now known as Egyptology and the module will consider some of the exploits and motives of the nineteenth century adventurers, before discussing the development of modern Egyptology as begun by Flinders Petrie and its development through to present day. The module completes with a brief assessment of the archaeological techniques and methods used by Egyptologists, both in the field and in the laboratory.
Module 3: The Predynastic Period
This third module is the first of four modules that outline the history of ancient Egypt. This module begins with the earliest periods of ancient Egyptian history, culminating in the Predynastic period. The module explores the pre-Neolithic period and the settlement of the Nile Valley by human beings as well as evidence for the first farming communities in Egypt. The module then looks at the important early cultures of the Egyptian Neolithic: the Badarian and Naqada cultures and the emergence of an Egyptian state and the establishment of the earliest period of Dynastic rule.
This unit will introduce you to several key early Dynastic artefacts including the Macehead of king Scorpion as well as the Narmer Palette. You will also investigate the archaeological sites of Hierakonpolis, Abydos and Saqqara and finally consider the development in the Predynastic and early dynastic periods of writing, artisanship, the development of kingship and features of early art and architecture.
Module 4: The Old Kingdom Period
This module examines one of the more famous periods of Egyptology; the Old Kingdom. The module outlines the chronology of the Old Kingdom period before discussing the development of those most iconic of all Egyptian structures; the Pyramid complexes at Saqqara and Giza and the continued development and refinement of pyramid building through the 5th and 6th Dynasties.
The module also explores the cult of kingship in Egypt as well as the religious, economic and social changes that took place during the Old Kingdom period. Finally, the module explores the decline of the Old Kingdom and the first of ancient Egypt’s ‘Dark Ages’; the First Intermediate Period and the rise of the Theban kings and the reunification of Egypt.
Module 5: The Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period
The 5th module examines the Middle Kingdom. The Middle Kingdom was a period of renewal and resurgence for Egypt and in this module you will explore the achievements of the period and the reigns of its many kings. Beginning with the 11th Dynasty and the reunification of Upper and Lower Egypt, the module will take you through the reigns of several notable pharaohs including Mentuhotep II and III.
The 12th Dynasty is also covered in this module and you will explore a new royal residence which was established at Itjtawy. The module also examines the life and career of King Senusret I and the return of the practice of Pyramid building. It is in this module that the important historic documents known as the letters of Hekanakhte are examined. The reign of King Senusret III and his campaigns in the Near East are also outlined and the Egyptian renaissance under king Amenemhat III and the 13th Dynasty are examined as well as the second collapse of the ancient Egyptian state which resulted in the Second intermediate period; another ‘Dark Age’ period in the history of Egypt. The invasion by the Hyksos is also explored within this module.
Module 6: The New Kingdom
This module concerns itself with the period of Egypt’s renaissance known as the New Kingdom. The New Kingdom was an era in which many of the most famous and better known Pharaohs lived and ruled in Egypt. The module begins with a discussion of the reigns of Ahmose and Amenhotep I and the emergence of the Valley of the Kings as a burial site for royalty. The module then follows the course of New Kingdom history through the reigns of Thutmose I-III, who hunted the Mitanni and elephants, Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most famous rulers as well as Amenhotep II, Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III; Amenhotep IV/ Akhenaten and the Amarna Period, when Egypt’s religions were rocked to their core.
This unit also examines the reign of the boy-king Tutankhamun, made famous by the discovery of his largely intact tomb by Howard Carter, before introducing the 19th Dynasty and the great Pharaohs Sety I and Ramses II. The module ends with a discussion of the decline in power of ancient Egypt under the later Ramessid kings during Egypt’s 20th Dynasty.
Module 7: The Third Intermediate Period and Late Period
This module is the final chronological history module of the course and discusses the last of Egypt’s ‘Dark Ages’ as well as the period known as the Third Intermediate Period and the evidence and developments of Egypt’s 21st, 22nd and 23rd dynasties. The module then goes on to explore what is called the Late Period and periods of Persian rule in Egypt from the 6th century BC before the arrival of Alexander the Great and the Macedonians in the 4th century BC.
The module then goes onto to discuss the Ptolemaic Period and it is here that you will consider the famous ancient city of Alexandria, a rival to Rome in size and power before ending with the brief reign of the infamous Queen Cleopatra, most famous for her affair with Mark Anthony and the end of ancient Egypt with its annexation by Rome.
Module 8: Daily Life in Ancient Egypt
What was daily life was like in ancient Egypt? In this module you will be led through a series of case studies sourced from archaeological findings as well as ancient Egyptian texts, tomb-paintings and artefacts in order to discover what life and death were like for the inhabitants of ancient Egypt. The subjects covered in the module include the importance of the River Nile in Egypt from food production along its fertile banks, to transportation and a discussion of some of the many Nile myths. Some of the major Egyptian deities will also be considered.
The module also considers the role of the king in Egypt as ruler and priest. The importance of scribes and also the bureaucracy that organised and regulated life for the inhabitants of ancient Egypt. The module will help you to examine what their lives were like and presents some of the records and observations that they made of life in ancient Egypt. The lives and activities of Egypt’s artisans, tomb-painters and other trades are explored and finally death in ancient Egypt. It is here that we shall explore the process of mummification and burial.
Module 9: Ancient Egyptian Achievement
This module helps you to explore the legacy of ancient Egypt and the great achievements of its craftsmen, architects and engineers. The achievements of the ancient Egyptians have left a marked impression of societies and still influence us in ways today. The module explores some of these ancient Egyptian achievements including the Pyramid Complexes of Giza and Saqqara; the craft skills of ancient Egyptian potters and metal smiths. The Temple complex of Karnak on the banks of the River Nile at Thebes is examined as are the craft skills of ancient Egyptian artisans in stone and wood.
We shall also look at Ramesses II’s temple at Abu Simbel, which was the focus of international rescue efforts during the construction of the Aswan Dam and one of the largest and ambitious programs ever which resulted in the removal and reconstruction of the temple complete with the hill into which it was built!
Module 10: Research in Egyptology
The final module of the Egyptology Diploma course will help you to consider aspects of Egyptian history and future opportunities for further research in Egyptology. The module looks at questions and controversies in Egyptology, and considers the ancient Egyptian’s own perceptions of history and time, as well as their relationships with the outside world. The module then goes on to present some of the archaeological developments in Egyptology that have been made over the years including the development of and application of scientific techniques in this field.
Finally, the module details current research centres and Universities who are engaged in Egyptology, as well as museums around the world which hold important Egyptian collections and websites that can be used for further exploration of ancient Egypt and Egyptology. Module 10 also provides 10 dissertation topics for the students on which to write a 5000 word assignment about various aspects of ancient Egypt and Egyptology.

Career Profile - Archaeologist
Career Profile
As an archaeologist, you’ll record, interpret and preserve archaeological remains for future generations
You may be involved directly in carrying out excavations, commonly called digs, or work in related settings, such as:
* local authorities, advising on the archaeological implications of planning applications
* museums or heritage centres, assisting with the preservation, conservation, display and interpretation of artefacts
* universities and research organisations, carrying out research and educational work.
Types of archaeology
Broadly speaking, archaeology is split into two main areas: prehistoric and historic. Historic archaeology looks at the artifacts and records of ancient civilisations while pre-historic archaeology deals with pre-history, before historical records began.
There are four main areas:
* contract or commercial archaeology – working for a developer who is responsible for the cost and time involved in a project
* research or academic archaeology – working on sites or survey projects over several months or years, subject to funding
* public or community archaeology – work carried out by professional organisations but with public involvement
* specialist archaeology – specialising in particular geographical areas, historical periods or types of object, such as pottery, coins or bones.
Responsibilities
There are over 80 job titles in archaeology and the job is not necessarily about digging and carrying out excavations. Responsibilities vary depending on your area of expertise.
As an archaeologist you may need to:
* identify and survey sites using a variety of methods, including field walking, geophysical surveys, aerial photography and LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology
* work on field excavations or digs, usually as part of a team, using a range of digging equipment
* project manage an excavation, including managing teams of diggers
* record sites using drawings, detailed notes and photography
* analyse findings by grouping, identifying and classifying them
* use computer applications, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and geographical information systems (GIS), to record and interpret finds, sites and landscapes
use computers to produce simulations of the way a building, site or artefact would have looked
* clean and preserve finds
* conduct laboratory tests, such as radiocarbon dating, and research and desk-based assessments of sites
* check planning applications and identify any possible archaeological impact
* provide advice on the conservation or recording of archaeological remains
* ensure important buildings, monuments and sites are protected and preserved
* produce and publish excavation and site reports
* generate publicity materials and publish articles about research, site interpretations or excavations
* give educational talks and presentations
* assist in the curating and display of artefacts.
Salary
The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) provides guidance on salary figures for archaeologists at various stages of their career:
* Starting salaries can range from £21,000 to £25,000 and should not fall below £20,400.
* With experience and increased responsibility, you can expect a salary of £25,000 to £32,000 (but not less than £23,800).
* At senior level, your salary can range from £32,000 to £41,000 (minimum of £30,600). Salaries in some roles may be in excess of this amount.
Salaries vary according to the location, sector and size of your employer. CIfA also provides a recommended package of employment entitlements, which contains guidance on working hours, leave and pension entitlements.
Income data from CIfA. Figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
You’ll work an average of 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday. You may need to work weekends and evenings if the time frame of a dig is tight.
Part-time work may be possible in some organisations.
What to expect
* Jobs exist throughout the UK in a variety of settings, including in laboratories, museums and offices, and at excavations or site inspections, which can be conducted in all weathers.
* Temporary contracts are common. For experienced professionals, there are opportunities for self-employment and specialist consultancy work.
* As your career progresses, you’re more likely to work indoors rather than on site.
* If working on digs, you’ll need a reasonable level of fitness as excavation work can be physically demanding. You’ll also need to wear protective clothing.
* There may be opportunities for work or travel overseas for experienced or senior professionals involved in special projects.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* practical skills in areas such as surveying, excavating, processing finds and drawing
* dexterity in using archaeology-related tools and instruments
* excellent written, communication and presentations skills
* interpersonal skills to talk to different people, including clients, developers and the general public
* data management and IT skills
* research skills in order to use historical records
* a methodical, well-organised and yet flexible approach to work with the ability to react and adapt to unexpected situations
* the ability to work independently and also as part of a team, particularly during fieldwork
* the ability to lead and motivate a team
* an analytical and enquiring mind, with excellent problem-solving skills
* self-motivation and focus
* organisation and project management skills
* negotiation skills
* patience, dedication and attention to detail
* the motivation to keep up with archaeological and technological developments
* an understanding of onsite health and safety.
You’ll also need a driving licence to travel to and from sites and offices.
Career prospects
There has been a growth in recent years in jobs in commercial and academic archaeology, although competition for posts is still fierce. Salaries can be quite low when starting out and many jobs are fixed-term contracts. Even at higher levels, salaries may be lower than in other comparable fields.
However, archaeology is a popular profession and your career path will vary according to the type of sector you work in and your specialist area. A typical career path in fieldwork may involve several years as a digger, followed by several years as a site supervisor and then progression to a project management or managerial role.
Some archaeologists choose to undertake further study and move into a lecturing role or academic research post. With experience there are also opportunities to move into consultancy work.
If you have specialist skills, there may opportunities to develop your career in related areas such as forensic archaeology, conservation, heritage management, curating and archaeological sciences.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
