International Day of Women and Girls in Science

11th February 2025

International day of women and girls in Science celebrated annually on the 11^th February, recognises the critical role women and girls play in science and technology.

Archaeology is unique as a subject because it combines humanities, arts, social sciences and sciences. Studying Archaeology requires you to evaluate, explain and make connections between multiple different sources of evidence ranging from ancient artefacts and monuments to the scientific analysis of plants, animals, and materials. Archaeology students develop a flexibility of thought and a unique mixture of transferable skills like critical thinking, report writing, teamwork and communication skills.

This year, to celebrate we asked some of the women in the School to tell us a little about themselves and their work.
