Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws in Archaeology

The future of work is changing, and what it means to be part of the legal profession has expanded. Our highly regarded Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws combined degree program will challenge you to think differently. You will graduate with two degrees, opening the door to a wide range of career opportunities – in law or another area where legal skills are in demand. Today’s law graduates need to be equipped with an agile mindset, and the ability to draw on legal and non-legal insights to solve multi-faceted problems, amidst unprecedented change, shifting client expectations and rapid technological advancements. The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is one of the most reputable law programs in Australia, highly regarded overseas and your first step towards admissions as a legal practitioner in NSW. Focused on the modern legal environment, you will develop the complex problem solving and analytical skills required to meet the challenges of a contemporary global landscape. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) offers broad choice across more than 45 subject areas, allowing you to build a solid foundation in another area(s), and gain a unique perspective. You study the BA over three years and complete the equivalent of the first year of the LLB at the same time. In years four and five, you will take the remaining compulsory and elective units of the LLB respectively. If you wish to complete honours, you may do so in your fourth year of study, deferring your remaining law units until your fifth year of study.

Archaeologists employ material evidence to study our human past. For students this is often an unfamiliar and exciting method of exploring bygone societies. The physical evidence of the past is able to tell us much that written evidence cannot. Most people were never able to document their own histories, and much of our human past unfolded before writing came in to use.The archaeology major will provide you with an understanding of the past of humans in a variety of times and places to give you an insight into long-term trends in human life. This major will also equip you with the intellectual and practical skills to gather, analyse and interpret primary archaeological evidence in order to answer questions about prehistoric and historic societies. The archaeology major contains broad coverage of the breadth of archaeological work, which allows you to undertake specialist training in one of three regional areas: Australia, the Mediterranean, and the Middle Eastcentral Asia. Practical field and laboratory methods are taught, and there are opportunities to participate in fieldwork units locally and around the world, as well as in one of our intensive Summer Schools program in Athens or Rome. Archaeology is a dynamic discipline that has revolutionised our understanding of the human past. Evidence is continuously unearthed and reveals unexpected and exciting glimpses of past societies. This major allows you to explore these vistas of human existence and to learn how archaeologists bring life to past societies.

Studying Archaeology can prepare you for many different careers. If you want to become a professional archaeologist, it can lead to a range of jobs, from field archaeology and museology, to academia, conservation, and heritage consultancy. If, on the other hand, your interests in Archaeology are non-vocational, an Archaeology major provides a stimulating tertiary education qualification which will equip you with the intellectual, social, organisation, communication and other key skills that employers look for when appointing graduates.
