Hone the research skills needed for a professional career in archaeology

Archaeology is the study of people and artefacts from ancient times. It’s a field which combines emerging technology and centuries of consolidated knowledge to give insight into human history. With the emergence of tech like DNA analysis, remote light sensing and new systems for recording data, professionals who can embrace change will be sought after in this field.

UNE offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in archaeology designed to provide you with the accumulated knowledge and site skills required to work effectively in this dynamic area of historical research. Because of our experience in training adults for constantly changing workplaces, our archaeology courses focus on teaching you the practical fieldwork skills as well as the transferable research skills, to ensure you are future-fit to adapt to changes in technology and recording methods in the field. You’ll learn from leading experts who are engaged in cutting-edge research and have the experience to help you secure your career in archaeology.

A significant portion of our students select online learning, where they join a community of adults who utilise their life and work experiences to develop tangible networks for the future. On-campus learners have access to housing, sports, and support services. Whether online or on-campus, you can choose to study full-time or part-time over three trimesters.

With UNE, you’ll graduate feeling prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this field, whether you choose to pursue careers in the field or in an adjacent career. We are committed to creating future-fit archaeology graduates. By choosing UNE, you’ll be studying with an industry leader in the provision of online lifelong learning. Year after year, students award us the maximum 5-star ratings for Overall Experience and Student Support in The Good Universities Guide.
