Studying UWA's Bachelor of Arts lets you cultivate your passions while developing the transferable skills that employers need and an Arts degree provides.

Transferable skills are sometimes referred to as 'people skills' because they're about personal attributes that are essential in every industry. Importantly, these skills can never be automated, ensuring you’ll be ready and well equipped for work.

Archaeology

Study more than three million years of human history in all its facets. This major brings together specialist units of study such as archaeobotany, archaeozoology, dating methods, DNA analysis, fieldwork, heritage, human origins and symbolism, Indigenous archaeology, and rock art. You will develop practical skills through laboratory classes and fieldwork units, with three field schools held each year.

Archaeologists enjoy varied employment opportunities. They can work as academics, museum workers, native-title and Indigenous community workers, and activists. They also work in the government sector on heritage policy and delivery, in the education and tourism sectors, and manage cultural heritage for the mining and resources sector. UWA Archaeology graduates are multi-skilled and in-demand in Australia and overseas.
