Admission requirements

Applicants must normally hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution. Under exceptional circumstances and subject to specific conditions, the Dean (Education) may admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.

Course aims

The course aims to meet the research and professional needs of graduates with an interest in Australian archaeology and archaeological field practice. 

It aims to increase the theoretical knowledge, research skills and applied skills required to develop appropriate depth of understanding of issues in a number of related specialisations in archaeology. 

The course draws on both theoretical and practical material and provides the opportunity for students to apply both the principles and the practical skills developed during the course.

Learning outcomes

Upon graduating, students will be equipped to:

  • enter the workforce as skilled and knowledgeable professional archaeologists;
  • identify and analyse complex archaeological issues;
  • demonstrate knowledge of the requirements of undertaking archaeological fieldwork and employ a wide range of fieldwork methods and techniques in archaeological research;
  • demonstrate knowledge of the major issues in Australian archaeology, conservation and archaeological field methods and practice and be able to apply this knowledge to practical situations;
  • undertake their work as professional archaeologists in an ethical manner;
  • communicate archaeological issues appropriately to a range of audiences.

Credit

Unspecified credit may, under certain circumstances, and subject to specific conditions, be granted for candidates who show relevant and extensive experience. This unspecified credit would be limited to a maximum of 4.5 units.
