Overview
This articulated program 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 and applied skills required to develop appropriate depth of understanding of issues in a number of related specialisations in archaeology.
The program 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.
Students in the program are able to choose from a range of archaeology topics, including topics in field methods, heritage management, maritime archaeology, rock art, historical archaeology, indigenous archaeology and forensic archaeology. Students may also choose topics in tourism, environmental studies, legal studies and professional studies.
In addition, the Master of Archaeology provides students with the opportunity to complete a substantial research project (thesis).
Upon graduating from the Masters degree, students will be equipped to undertake large-scale archaeological research or consultancy projects.
