| Iam interested in studying archeology and history, what do i need to do?  |
| Answer by voluntary user(s)The Open University does offer both Archeology and History, but not in a combined subject. There is the Open Degree, where you choose your own courses (but need to satisfy the course level) and you could complete a History degree and use some Archeology to complete your course in the free choice part of the history degree. Visit www.open.ac.uk/study for more information on the course. Both Archeology and History is listed under the Arts and Humanities heading. |

We are working to create a system which will enhance interactivity amongst students. In order to generate funds
for growth, this website displays advertisements. These are not intended for individual profit.

Despite all that, many present students or admission seekers are not able to find information because
they need an expert to understand their requirements and reply personally.
OpenUniversityUK.co.uk aims to assist general public and students of Open University
starting December the 13th, 2007.
