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 (Research
and Graduate Studies).
Program Structure
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 (not available in 2003)
- Philosophy
- Politics (not available in 2003)
- Science, Technology and Society
