If you're interested in people, if you're
interested in
anything about the way that people interact,
politics, society, culture,
religion, then the study of ancient history
and archaeology is
absolutely for you.
The other things that are very, very interesting
about Macquarie University is our expertise
in ancient languages.
We
have up to eight ancient languages being offered
here at Macquarie
University.
We have the broadest and longest offering
of Egyptology
anywhere in Australia and we're a leader in
the world in the study of
Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology.
It's a department that is all encompassing
so people learn
history and archaeology together.
We have a massive number of staff, 39
I think academic staff, 100 PhDs.
So the opportunities are endless for
people to do now the sort of research that
they would like, both at the
undergraduate and at the post graduate level.
Macquarie offers really some of the best opportunities
for
students in Australia, and really the only
university in Australia that
you can study Ancient Israel and the Near
East in a really focused
manner.
We're also one of the few universities that
allow students to go
over and excavate in Israel.
Initially when I started university I just
thought it was
all going to be about coursework and then
you get to the end of it, you
speak, complete a thesis, and you'd be done
with it.
But it honestly
it's been so much more.
I've been able to go to do field work in
Cambodia, Egypt, and even here in Australia.
There's a whole heap of
other different experiences that students
had the opportunity to tap
into whether you are undergrad or postgrad
it's endless.
