Bournemouth
University is closing its HND in Practical Archaeology.
The well- respected two-year course was a stepping stone
to BA's and BSc's for many archaeologists who did not
have formal academic qualifications. John Gale, who
works at the university, told The Digger: 'The HND
has now been replaced by a Foundation degree (FdSc Field
Archaeology) which was designed in association with
colleagues from the profession.' There will be
a reunion for past students in August.

or jgale@bmth.ac.uk
for details.
Meanwhile,
the University of Exeter is cutting all Archaeology
and Egyptology Distance Learning studies at the end
of the next academic year. In a letter dated 1 June
2005 Head of Department John Blewitt advises students
to transfer to the Open University. (The
OU does NOT offer courses in Archaeology or Egyptology.)
