Bachelor of Science (Major: Archaeology)

The University of Notre Dame Australia

The University of Notre Dame Australia’s Bachelor of Science with a Major in Archaeology is the ideal option. Archaeology is a dynamic worldwide discipline that draws on both the sciences and the humanities to interpret the physical evidence left by humans and their ancestors around the planet. Practitioners use information from geography, history, mathematics, biology, anthropology, chemistry and sociology to process evidence at sites to form the best interpretation of past human behaviour. Understanding past human behaviour informs our view of modern society and its challenges.

If you have dreamed of exploring lost worlds and forgotten civilisations, a Bachelor of Science with a major in Archaeology is the ideal option. This major provides the theory and practical skills needed by today’s archaeologists, such as field research methods, to interpret past human behaviour.

Areas of study include historical, Aboriginal, and maritime archaeology, with a strong Western Australian and Australian focus. In addition to these archaeology courses, you will also be required to complete a directed science research project, which provides the opportunity for you to specialise in a particular area of interest and develop additional fieldwork and problem-solving skills.

Work integrated learning: as part of the Bachelor of Science degree, you undertake a science internship. This is a six-week industry placement in an area of employment related to your studies, which can lead to valuable contacts and employment opportunities.
