Master of Arts

The Master of Arts allows students to further their knowledge and skills in the humanities and social sciences. Students will be able to select a course with flexible content - either an interdisciplinary or selected discipline based major study, learn generic arts skills (especially comprehension and communication), and develop their research-based language skills.

Entry to the Degree
Entry to the degree is normally from the Bachelor of Arts degree, but students with an equivalent qualification will also be considered.

Time Limits
The course takes one year of full time study or two years for part-time students.

Please Note: Because all subjects require assumed knowledge of the relevant discipline or studies area, students will need to discuss their program with the course co-ordinator, Associate Dean (Graduate Studies and Research).

Degree Program
Students take six subjects from the schedule of subjects (48 credit points).

Where there is one major study, the remaining 24 credit points are chosen from any other subjects in the schedule.

The areas of major study currently available are:

• Communication and Cultural Studies

• English Studies (including Postcolonial literatures)

• History

• Philosophy

• Politics

• Science, Technology and Society

• Sociology
