Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology has been recognised once again in the Guardian University Guide 2019, with Archaeology now ranked as 2nd in the UK.
Classics and Ancient History have also gained recognition, rising to 13th in the UK from a position of 16th in the 2018 guide.
Keith Dobney, Head of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology at University of Liverpool said:
Our enhanced Guardian league table performance directly reflects the the hard work and dedication of both staff and students in the Department and is testament to ongoing goals in providing broader experience and opportunities for our students and making them more active partners in all our endeavours.
The Guardian University Guide says of their rankings:
“Our guide is different from other guides you might come across on the web. Very few of them rank universities. We do, by carefully combining scores for the aspects of university life that matter most to students.
Students need to know how good the teaching is. Will they get regular feedback on their work? What do other students think of the course? And do they stand a good chance of finding a job when they graduate? Answers to all these questions are contained in our tables.”
