Explore the past and build a better future How can we create a sustainable future if we’re blind to the past? By exploring our history and understanding where we’ve come from, archaeologists shine a light on what it means to be human and how we – and all living things – have evolved with our environment. In increasingly uncertain times, we need this knowledge more than ever. If you're looking to quickly develop specialist skills in contemporary archaeological practice, La Trobe's Graduate Diploma of Archaeology will give you solid foundations for a career in archaeology and heritage management.
