Description	Study Tour is a compulsory element of all CAHA SH degree programmes. It provides an opportunity for students to engage in a guided tour to Greece, or Rome and Pompeii, or Romano-British sites (one of these in any given year). The choice of destination will vary depending on staff availability, and external factors (e.g. costs of travel, Covid-19 restrictions, FCO advice). If students are unable to travel on the guided tour they may choose to complete an online only virtual itinerary linked to the topic of the guided tour. All travel will take place during the Easter vacation. Students will be accompanied by CAHA teaching staff on the guided tour.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of the significance of material culture in understanding studying the past through first-hand experience of sites, monuments, and museum displays; Conduct research in order to analyse the academic significance of and publications on the sites, monuments, and museums visited on tour. Employ an interpretative and reflective approach to the archaeological and historical material discussed in the lectures. Document their experience and reflect critically on their learning about the sites visited during their tour.
