The Archaeology and Ancient History major at UOW offers you the opportunity to combine two distinct, but overlapping disciplines that will transform your understanding and perceptions of the past. The Archaeology and Ancient History major is a new major jointly offered by the School of Humanities and Social Inquiry and the Centre for Archaeological Science.

In 2003, UOW researchers uncovered evidence of a previously unknown Hominin species (nicknamed the "Hobbit") in a cave on the Indonesian island of Flores. This major is an opportunity to become part of UOW's internationally-recognised research in archaeology and the complex story of human evolution.

Archaeology and Ancient History at UOW will enable you to gain valuable skills and study topics about which both you and our staff are passionate. Graduates from the Archaeology and Ancient History major may gain employment in heritage management, museums, in archaeological research and as teachers.

What you will study
You will explore the political, social and economic contexts of Rome and Greece. This will be complemented by learning about the ‘Big’ questions in Archaeology, in both our own region and the rest of the world, from early prehistory to the Middle Ages. You will gain field and practical experience using a range of different techniques and sources to examine material remains including fossils, artefacts and relics from a wide range of periods, places and people. You will round off your major by completing capstone subjects in Archaeology and Ancient History where you will apply the knowledge and skills you have learned to real-world investigations into the ancient past.

In addition to the Archaeology and Ancient History major you will choose a minor or a second major from the Bachelor of Arts offerings.

Medical Biotechnology is the application of exciting advances in molecular and cell biology to medicine, agriculture, and the environment. Through modern technologies such as genetic engineering, biotechnology is shaping diverse aspects of medicine (cancer, vaccines, therapy and diagnosis of genetic diseases), food production (transgenic plants), and industry (bioremediation).

The Bachelor of Medical Biotechnology (Honours) provides you with the tools and knowledge to work in both medicine and bioremediation. It encompasses the rapidly evolving fields of proteomics, genetic engineering, and advanced techniques in molecular analysis. A new generation of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, hormones, and anti-inflammatory agents are being developed using these technologies. This degree will prepare you to work in biomedical science research and the biotechnology industry, which is at the forefront of these developments.

Honours is built into the fourth year of this program, during which you will undertake a supervised research project.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Bachelor of Business provides an opportunity for students who have a flair for business, finance, management and marketing to combine their interest with professional engineering studies.

Engineering is vital to solving the world’s big challenges: supporting communities by designing and building liveable, sustainable cities; creating transport and housing systems; and designing and building telecommunications networks, the internet and computers.

Engineers design systems to ensure ample clean water for the world’s population, to find non-polluting energy sources, to create ways to assist healthy living and ageing, and to advance medical and health technologies.

Engineers are team players and many become CEOs and entrepreneurs; engineering graduates run over 30 percent of the world’s biggest international companies, nearly double the next largest discipline. Learn the fundamentals of engineering, both the technical and interpersonal skills, and apply your knowledge in real situations to prepare you for engineering the future with an internationally accredited UOW engineering degree.

What you will study

As an engineering student at UOW you can gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program. All students undertake practical hands-on experience with industry for 12 weeks prior to the conclusion of their academic studies.

Mechatronic engineering is the combination of mechanical, electrical and computer technologies. Industrial robots are a famous example of mechatronic engineering: computer-controlled mechanical arms capable of performing manual labour with greater strength, speed and efficiency than a human.

The reality is computer control of systems is so commonplace in homes, business and industry that nearly everyone uses a mechatronic system every day, from washing machines to central air-conditioning, cameras and computer printers.

A Mechatronic engineer's skill for combining and refining elements to improve the whole makes them valuable in fields such as digital electronics, manufacturing, information technology and robotics.

This degree
You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields before deciding which discipline to study. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, materials and fluids. You then focus on your chosen major study from second year.

Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement. You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program.
