Archaeology
From TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.
Archaeology is the scientific discipline of excavating, studying and learning from the past.
The Doctor's companion, Peri Brown, had at least a passing interest in archaeology (DW: Planet of Fire) Another, Bernice Summerfield, was, by trade, an archaeologist before she met him, and had a supposed degree qualifying her as a professor in it, though not an official one (NA: Love and War). Bernice specialized in archaeological studies after they parted.
