Summary

In the Bachelor of Archaeology, you'll explore theories and trends that have shaped the history of archaeology, and undertake study in laboratories and out in the field. You'll develop key research skills to identify and solve complex archaeological problems, and you'll be able to show awareness and respect for contemporary cultural perspectives and cultural heritage practices. Innovative in its approach to understanding contemporary social, urban and environmental issues in urban and regional planning, the Bachelor of Planning focuses on recognising the social and cultural diversity of places, and the importance of cross-cultural approaches to research, plan-making and impact assessment. It will not only prepare you for a career in planning in which you have the power to shape more liveable and sustainable futures, but will also give you a distinctive edge among your peers.
