“Recommendations from Dr van Duivenvoorde through the University have allowed me to undertake an internship in Sri Lanka and at the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington DC. 

I was also part of the discovery of South Australia’s oldest shipwreck The South Australian, and I took part in the excavation of parts of a shipwreck called The Amazon which wrecked in Inverloch, Victoria. Due to these practical experiences, it is now significantly easier for me to understand the theoretical part of maritime archaeology.”

Madhumathy Chandrasekaran,
Masters of Maritime Archaeology, India

Study history or archaeology.

Delve into the world's rich cultural history, uncovering the links between past, present, and future societies with a degree in Archaeology, or a major in History.

“Flinders has one of the best Maritime Archaeology postgraduate programs in the world. The staff are very kind and supportive to students, and I am lucky to be here. 

Flinders is the only Master of Maritime Archaeology program that provides a field school and scientific diving training, which is the most exciting part of my studies. If you want to learn maritime archaeology and gain diving skills that lead you to your future job, please consider studying at Flinders.”
