Postgraduate Studies - Australian Indigenous Archaeology

Postgraduate degrees provide students with more than specialisation in their field, expertise in the methodologies employed and a comprehensive knowledge of their discipline. Graduates establish and develop transferable skills valued by a broad range of employers. These include experience in designing research agendas, writing progress and evaluation reports, preparing funding submissions, liaison with official institutions and community groups, official meeting procedures, time management and general administration.
