Archaeology Program

Undergraduate Studies

The Program is a world renowned centre of research into the archaeological past. Our teaching staff have widespread educational and research experience. At La Trobe this experience guides all of our teaching. While archaeology subjects can be challenging and high standards are expected, students have found them to be highly professional, very stimulating and an excellent introduction to archaeology and to other associated fields.
