Master of Arts (Research)
Course Overview
Are you a high-performing student who wishes to take the next academic step? The Master of Arts is a thesis-based research degree and is the perfect opportunity for academic advancement. The degree program is individually designed and built around the methodological requirements of the research, the nature of the topic to be investigated and the candidate’s background. If necessary, a candidate may also be required to undertake research training or further coursework as part of the MA program. Candidates will benefit from ongoing support, mentoring or involvement in the University’s research culture. The Master of Arts may be completed as a traditional thesis or a thesis by publication or as a non-traditional thesis (exegesis) and creative artefact. Your MA should be based on an advanced investigation into a significant question related to your current field of study or work. The thesis should make an original and substantial contribution to the humanities, social sciences, applied sciences or Aboriginal studies.
