Palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms (or fossils) preserved in rocks and ancient sediments and the evolution of life on Earth. It is a multidisciplinary science, involving not only geology but also aspects of biology and chemistry.
The University of New England is one of only a few educational institutions in Australia that offers a coherent undergraduate program of study in palaeontology. Our Undergraduate Certificate in Palaeontology will provide you with foundational knowledge and skills in this fascinating field.
Whether you want to experience a taste for university studies, or you're currently working in the field and want to gain tertiary qualifications to boost your skills, this course is the ideal starting point.
The units neatly combine to form a standalone qualification or a pathway towards diplomas and degrees, diplomas and masters' awards at UNE.
