Why study Archaeology?
UQ's Extended Major in Archaeology is a professional focused degree training archaeologists for their careers in the cultural heritage industry, universities, government and museums. Through study of the material remains of the past, archaeologists search out and excavate ancient sites and examine artefacts and biological remains to understand how cultures developed and changed through the ages. Combining core conceptual knowledge in archaeology and heritage with applied practical techniques, taught in our nation-leading lab, archaeology students at UQ can take part in leading international research projects in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, the Mediterranean, Africa and India. With a strong focus on work integrated learning, developed with industry, and community engagement, the Extended Major provides the key stepping stone to Honours and professional practice.
