Many disciplines offer a masters degree entirely by coursework. All students
must complete 48 points of coursework subjects at fifth-year level in order to
qualify for the degree. In some cases, a research project of 12 or more points
may be undertaken. Students undertaking coursework degrees are not eligible to
apply for scholarships.
For students undertaking a Master of Arts, Master of Bioethics (1998 onwards)
or a Master of Social Work degree, the minimum pass is a credit 60 C. To
qualify for the degree, students must have achieved a credit or better in all
subjects. Students enrolled from 1998 onwards in the Master of Environmental
Science degree must obtain a credit in all core and foundation subjects (these
subjects are defined by a ´C' or ´F' in the subject code) and a
credit average over all.
The minimum entry requirements for a coursework masters degree are a four-year honours degree with a grade of H2B or above or a masters qualifying with grades of credit average or above or a graduate/postgraduate diploma with grades of credit average in a relevant discipline. Some departments and centres may require higher grades - refer to the individual program for details.

The Master of Bioethics and the Master of Social Work degrees are offered both
by distance education and on-campus. |
Prior to 1998, Master of Arts degrees by coursework and by coursework and
research were two-year programs (comprising part 1 and part 2). This
structure still applies to currently enrolled students who commenced the degree
prior to 1998. Details are available in earlier handbooks.
The MBA/MA in Arts Administration is a postgraduate double-degree program.

For further information, refer to ´Arts administration'.
