This program  is specifically designed to prepare students for a careers in archaeology, either as a researcher or as a heritage consultant.
Professional archaeologists are involved in many tasks, including the discovery and excavation of archaeological sites, and the interpretation of the material recovered from them. The many technical skills required to undertake these tasks can best be obtained through a dedicated tertiary vocational degree which provides training in the methods of archaeological investigations.
Students may have the opportunity to undertake internships with some of these organisations during the course of their degree program.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
