This program, which is offered full-time over one year or part-time over two years, seeks to develop skills in investigation, analysis, research methods and writing in archaeology and ancient history and help prepare students for a successful transition to graduate study in these disciplines. Coursework units will introduce key methods, themes and approaches in archaeology and ancient history, focusing in particular on Egypt and the Near East, which constitute the strengths of the Monash Centre for Archaeology and Ancient History. The program is also designed to develop skills in planning and implementing a research program, and in writing and oral communication. Students will apply these skills and insights in a 9000- word research project supervised by a member of academic staff. This program may be of particular value to students from other institutions who wish to proceed on to postgraduate research with a stronger grounding in recent developments in archaeology, in the particular specialisations of the Monash Centre, and in relevant research and writing skills.
