Bachelor of Arts - Archaeology & Ancient History (000612E) at University of Wollongong: Tuition: $26,592.00 AUD/year (Scholarship Available)

The Archaeology and Ancient History major at UOW offers students the opportunity to combine two distinct, but overlapping disciplines that will transform studentsr understanding and perceptions of the past. The Archaeology and Ancient History major is a new major jointly offered by the School of Humanities and Social Inquiry and the Centre for Archaeological Science.

In 2003, UOW researchers uncovered evidence of a previously unknown Hominin species (nicknamed the "Hobbit") in a cave on the Indonesian island of Flores. This major is an opportunity to become part of UOW's internationally-recognised research in archaeology and the complex story of human evolution.

Archaeology and Ancient History at UOW will enable students to gain valuable skills and study topics about which both students and our staff are passionate. Graduates from the Archaeology and Ancient History major may gain employment in heritage management, museums, in archaeological research and as teachers.

Students will explore the political, social and economic contexts of Rome and Greece. This will be complemented by learning about the ‘Big’ questions in Archaeology, in both our own region and the rest of the world, from early prehistory to the Middle Ages. Students will gain field and practical experience using a range of different techniques and sources to examine material remains including fossils, artefacts and relics from a wide range of periods, places and people. Students will round off their major by completing capstone subjects in Archaeology and Ancient History where students will apply the knowledge and skills students have learned to real-world investigations into the ancient past.

In addition to the Archaeology and Ancient History major students will choose a minor or a second major from the Bachelor of Arts offerings.
