Flinders University offers a graduate coursework program in Maritime Archaeology including the Graduate Certificate in Maritime Archaeology. The Department of Archaeology has been teaching maritime archaeology successfully at both undergraduate and postgraduate level since 1996. The Graduate Certificate is designed to provide professional knowledge and expertise in maritime archaeology particularly for practitioners working in related fields as consultants and for government agencies. It may also provide an avenue for entry into the other graduate courses in maritime
archaeology available at Flinders University (Graduate Diploma in Maritime Archaeology and Master of Maritime Archaeology).

The Graduate Certificate is an 18 unit coursework program that is available both internally (on-campus) and externally (by distance learning). The 18 units of coursework is normally completed over two years. Not all topics are available in every semester. Please ask the Coordinator of Maritime
Archaeology Studies. Eligible students must normally hold an approved three-year degree majoring
in Archaeology or an equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution. The Faculty Board may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.

To qualify for the Graduate Certificate in Maritime Archaeology a student
must complete 18 units with a grade of P or better in each topic, according
to the following program of study:

ARCH 8101 Australian Maritime Archaeology 6 units
ARCH 8102 Underwater and Coastal Archaeology 6 units
ARCH 8103 Maritime Archaeology Field School 6 units
Both ARCH 8101 and ARCH 8102 are available both internally and externally.
ARCH 8103 is a two-week intensive field school that will require students to be resident at the field school location (in Feb 2004 at Portarlington, Victoria).
Candidates may be permitted to take other topics in the Graduate Certificate only with the permission of the Coordinator of Maritime Archaeology Studies and only if they have substantial prior studies or
experience in Maritime Archaeology.
