This program  is specifically designed to prepare students for a careers in archaeology, either as a researcher or as a heritage consultant.
Professional archaeologists are involved in many tasks, including the discovery and excavation of archaeological sites, and the interpretation of the material recovered from them. The many technical skills required to undertake these tasks can best be obtained through a dedicated tertiary vocational degree which provides training in the methods of archaeological investigations.
Students may have the opportunity to undertake internships with some of these organisations during the course of their degree program.
