Undergraduate studies
At UVic, we know learning extends beyond the classroom.
Whether you're participating in an archaeological dig or doing research that explores vital issues, you'll apply the theory you learn in class to the world around you. You can take part in field schools and gain on-the-job experience through co-op placements.
Our courses will take you out in the field and into the real world. Our hands-on learning approach lets you develop skills and perspectives that apply to many careers.
Working in small groups, you'll gain transferable skill sets like:
- videography and film editing
- techniques to study human and animal bones
- archaeological excavation and lab methods
- mapping and landscape analysis
- data collection methods
- interviewing
- database management
