The Masters of Archaeological Studies coursework is designed for students who have developed an interest in the subject and who do not have the background or disciplinary interests to pursue more specialized and scientifically oriented Masters degrees in archaeology and cognate fields.

The aim of the degree is to provide such a student, at the intensity and initiative levels appropriate for graduates, with a grounding in the main perspectives of modern archaeology, introduce them to sub-fields of archaeological science and heritage, and to provide training in research techniques. With this training, students will be able to proceed to a short supervised advanced research project in the M Arch Stud (Res). 

Prerequisites

Applicants for entry to the Master of Archaeological Studies program should have a four year Bachelor degree with Honours in a cognate field (e.g. socio-cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, history) from an approved tertiary education institution, OR a three year Bachelor degree without Honours but supplemented by at least one further year of tertiary study or relevant professional experience OR equivalent background obtained overseas OR the Graduate Certificate in Archaeological Studies or Graduate Certificate in Archaeological Science (or equivalent).
