Overview

Throughout the Science - Archaeology BSc program from The University of Notre Dame Australia you will also be required to complete a Directed Science Research project which provides the opportunity for you to specialise in a particular area of interest and develop additional fieldwork and problem-solving skills.

Work Integrated Learning: As part of the Bachelor of Science degree, you undertake a Science Internship. This is a six-week industry placement in an area of employment related to your studies, which can lead to valuable contacts and employment opportunities.

Archaeology graduates find employment as heritage advisors for mining companies and for local and State government departments such as the State Heritage Office. Positions for Archaeologists exist in the Western Australia Museum and Maritime Museum, while the State Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Federal National Native Title Tribunal recruits those with skills in archaeology for roles determining Native Title claims. Positions exist in private heritage consultancy, while the skills and science of Archaeology are also applicable in natural and cultural management.

Career opportunities:

Career opportunities are diverse and depend on the Science Stream you choose. If you choose archaeology your choices range from heritage consultant, museum curator, and researcher for Australian Government departments in the fields of heritage, environment & conservation.
