Bachelors of Journalism and Bachelor of Arts - Archaeology

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 Major in Archaeology allows students to study the diverse range of themes and applications that characterise contemporary archaeology, including human evolution, cultural heritage management, ancient technology and ancient civilisations. 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 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. The Major in Archaeology provides a strong knowledge of contemporary archaeology to study alongside other areas such as anthropology and ancient history.
