We […]

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be visited by two of my closest friend from Leicester. Andy and Harry, like myself, are on an Erasmus year abroad but in Bologna. I was very much looking forward to their visit and in the few days they were in Malta we saw a lot […]

Recently I have not been able to put a worry of mine to rest. That worry is that I will not be able to get a job in archaeology because I cannot drive. I feel like I am running out of time as in less than a year and a half I graduate. I have […]

Hagar Qim (pronounced Hah-gar-rreem) is a prehistoric site containing the standing remains of two Neolithic temples, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra. These two megalithic buildings were built around 5,000 BC and little is known about their function. A few days ago myself and a few other international students, studying in Malta on the Erasmus scheme, took […]

After being in Malta for 3 whole months I very much missed my University of Leicester buddies. Before leaving Leicester for sunny Malta in September myself and my course mates made a pact that we would spend new year together in Leicester as not only myself by 3 others were also leaving to study in […]

It’s that time of year again when students start thinking about and looking at houses for their next year of study, and I have been doing the same! Despite being in a different country, yesterday myself and three other fellow University of Leicester archaeology students (and some of my closest friends at university) put a […]

Halloween is finally upon us! As I am sure it is for many, Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year. You get to test you creativity skills through pumpkin carving and trying to come up with the most unique but equally scary costume. It is also one of the most social events […]

One of my favourite subjects within archaeology is underwater or maritime archaeology. The University of Leicester’s School of Archaeology and Ancient History offer a second year module called ‘Mediterranean Archaeology’ which covers the topic of maritime archaeology. I very much enjoyed taking the module which was what pushed my decision of doing an Erasmus year […]
