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 should have at least a four year Australian Bachelor’s degree either as Honours or a combined degree (or equivalent) in a cognate discipline with a minimum 65% average at ANU, or equivalent prior learning as per the ANU Credit Policy.

All applicants must meet the University’s English Language Admission Requirements for Students.

Equivalence may be met by the completion of the Graduate Certificate in Archaeological Science or the Graduate Certificate in Archaeological Studies.
