Overview

The Bachelor of Archaeology program at Macquarie University offers a comprehensive and thorough perspective on the human past through the interdisciplinary study of material remains from ancient societies. Offered by the Department of Ancient History within the Faculty of Arts, this program explores theories and trends that have shaped the history of archaeology, incorporating both laboratory work and fieldwork. It aims to develop key research skills for identifying and solving complex archaeological problems, while fostering awareness and respect for contemporary cultural perspectives and heritage practices. The multidisciplinary curriculum allows students to bridge traditional arts and science disciplines, with a core focus on Archaeology and Ancient History, complemented by elective units in areas such as sciences, Anthropology, Geography, or languages. A mandatory Public History and Cultural Heritage internship, which can involve archaeological excavation, survey, or work in a museum or heritage organization, is a key component of the degree.
