An honours year in Archaeological Science allows you to work as part of one of the largest archaeological science research groups in Australia. Plan, research and produce a substantial project into globally significant issues such as human evolution and dispersal, the development of civilisation and human-environment relationships, and develop your critical analysis, communication and research skills. Research seminars will provide you with advanced level knowledge of archaeological science theory, methodology and practice. The BSc Honours Field in Archaeological Science is designed to complement undergraduate study and together fulfil the minimum qualification for professional entry (following national benchmarks) to archaeology for science-based students, as well as research based higher degrees. Thesis research projects will be developed with collaborators from UQ's broader science community, thus deepening and extending existing collaborative research links across UQ.

For further information on this plan and projects available, contact the School of Social Science.
