Bachelors of Journalism and Bachelor of Arts - Archaeology [Extended Major]

Journalism is an exciting occupation that allows you to meet many different kinds of people and to travel. The basis of journalism is information - discovering, collecting, assembling, analysing and presenting information. To do this effectively, journalists require highly developed skills in language, a good understanding of the media, an interest in current affairs and a broad general knowledge. By also studying the BA, students graduate with highly developed skills in written communication, problem-solving, critical thinking and interpersonal understanding. The BA allows students to choose from a wide variety of majors to either complement their journalism studies (such as Economics, International Relations, Public Policy or Popular Music) or to broaden their knowledge in another field (such as a language, Criminology or Psychology), thus expanding their opportunities to work in different areas of journalism.

UQ's Extended Major in Archaeology is a professional focused degree training archaeologists for their careers in the cultural heritage industry, universities, government and museums. Through study of the material remains of the past, archaeologists search out and excavate ancient sites and examine artefacts and biological remains to understand how cultures developed and changed through the ages. Combining core conceptual knowledge in archaeology and heritage with applied practical techniques, taught in our nation-leading lab, archaeology students at UQ can take part in leading international research projects in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, the Mediterranean, Africa and India. With a strong focus on work integrated learning, developed with industry, and community engagement, the Extended Major provides the key stepping stone to Honours and professional practice.
