Bachelor of Archaeology

This program will allow students to cross the traditional arts/science divide by integrating core archaeology and ancient history units with a broad selection of science units. This structure, which is flexible enough to accommodate backgrounds in the arts, the sciences, or a blend of both, helps students shape a degree tailored to their personal interests. Students are encouraged to explore and undertake research across disciplinary boundaries, and consider the ways in which archaeological practises can influence other disciplines or draw upon them, giving them the necessary knowledge and skills required for subsequent learning and research at the postgraduate level. Learning is enhanced by practical experience provided through a number of field and laboratory activities that complement students' theoretical training, including the resources made available through Macquarie's on-campus simulated archaeological site.
