The proposal for the Double Degree in Archaeology and History responds to the increasing demand of students with the objective of obtaining a specific and complementary training that includes both areas of knowledge. This way, it responds to the current social demands. The Double Degree in Archaeology and History offers critical training about the past of humanity. This will allow students to reflect upon present and future challenges. In addition, it will enable the acquisition of basic concepts of both disciplines and about the historic processes in a broad diachrony –from prehistory to contemporary age–, as well as the methods, techniques, and analysis tools of materials and field studies, laboratories and data analysis. Students of the double degree will achieve a deep knowledge on both disciplines, which share common objectives in relation with the understanding of historical processes. The structure of the double degree presents a double facet of humanistic, instrumental, and methodologic training by incorporating subjects of historical knowledge and history through the different ages, along with the introduction of subjects of instrumental and applied features.

The Universitat de València counts with more than a hundred years of experience in archaeological research, and has the Miracle Gil-Mascarell Archaeological Laboratory. The lab counts with spaces for archaeological materials treatment, and collections of reference and tools for optical analysis that guarantee a quality practical and scientific training. At the same time, the consolidation of multidisciplinary innovative lines of research has been reinforced thanks to the collaboration with other departments and labs of the Science Park from the Universitat de València, such as the University Institute of Materials Science (ICMUV) and the Central Service for Experimental Research (SCSIE). The Faculty counts with other teaching labs such as the laboratory of Geomorphology, and the lab of Geographical Information Systems (SIG) and Remote Sensing. Furthermore, the students of this degree can also use the facilities and resources of the Laboratori d'Anàlisi i Diagnòstic d'Obra d'Art (Artworks Analysis and Diagnosis Laboratory) managed by the Department of History of Art, the laboratory of Medieval History and Archaeology, and the Emilia Salvador Esteban laboratory of Modern History.
