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. Students enrolled in various undergraduate courses (including non-scientific courses) can study palaeontology. This site will provide you with important information about the discipline, including undergraduate study and research. What makes studying palaeontology at UNE unique is that we offer our subjects in external mode, allowing students to study from home, no matter where you live in Australia, or indeed, the world! This is often ideal for students who work part-time or full-time. This study mode is achieved through the world wide web as each of our subjects has its own personalised website, with access to all necessary subject materials, e.g., readings on eReserve. The websites also include discussion boards to promote interaction between students and academics, as well as a facility to submit assignments electronically. The practical components of our subjects, e.g., lab classes and lectures, are conducted during residential schools. UNE is also an excellent academic environment for students to conduct palaeontological research at various levels, e.g., Honours, Masters and PhD. Academic and Honorary staff members within Earth Sciences at UNE are highly qualified and respected researchers in their related fields, especially Mesozoic and Cenozoic vertebrates (including dinosaurs, megafauna and hominids), Palaeozoic invertebrates, plus a range of microfossil groups. Research projects can be tailored to individual students and may be theoretical and/or field/collection-based. Students may wish to choose field sites that are local, interstate or overseas. UNE is also well equipped with modern research facilities.
