Course Structure in the Graduate Program in Archaeology 

Graduate studies in archaeology at Flinders University aim to meet the research needs of students with an interest in Australian archaeology, in particular those who wish to master the standard and advanced skills necessary for successful archaeological field practice.  It aims to increase the theoretical knowledge, research skills and applied skills required to develop an appropriate depth of understanding of issues in archaeology in a number of related specialisations in archaeology, including Indigenous archaeology, rock art, and archaeological field methods.

Students enrolled in the Graduate Program may enroll in one of three options:

• A Graduate Certificate in Archaeology (18 units)
• A Graduate Diploma in Archaeology (36 units)
• A Master of Archaeology (72 units)

These components are articulated: in other words, successfully completing each one allows you to build towards the completion of the following higher degree.  This means that successful completion of the 18 units of the Graduate Certificate will count as credit towards one half of the Graduate Diploma, and completing the extra 18 units of the Graduate Diploma will count as credit towards one half of the Masters degree:
