The dual pathway in Archeology and Historyhas two main objectives: to meet the more specialized training needs of a considerable proportion of new students, and the social need for basic academic training in human relations studies in which the contents are well-integrated and interdisciplinary.

The course is designed to be taken over five years (ten semesters) and enables students to combine the classes and academic activities of both pathways and meet requirements to obtain the bachelor's degrees in accordance with the specifications of each curriculum, taking into account the subjects or credits of both degrees.

Placements

Placements in a company or another type of organization are an integral part of university studies, providing first-hand experience of working methodologies in students' chosen professional fields. They offer invaluable practical experience for the transition into work after graduation. The course curriculum includes a compulsory subject for curricular placements with a study load of 6 credits (210 hours).

 

Placements are supervised by tutors and subject to assessment. They are therefore included in the academic record. There is also an option to complete non-curricular placements of up to 500 hours, which can be extended to 900 hours. For both curricular and non-curricular placements, an educational cooperation agreement is signed between the UB and the company, institution or other organization at which the placement will be carried out. The placement coordinator is the degree coordinator.
