Completion
of the masters qualifying with a research component in applied Japanese
linguistics with grades of distinction or above both in the research component
and as an overall average, or an honours degree (or the equivalent) in a
relevant field with a grade of H2A or above and at least a minor in linguistics
or Japanese studies units with a linguistic focus, or equivalent. Students
should normally possess competence in Japanese equivalent to level D (post-VCE
major).
In exceptional cases, students may be admitted by the faculty to the Master of
Arts by coursework/research combined after demonstrating outstanding
performance in the Graduate Diploma of Arts (Applied Japanese Linguistics),
where they have also demonstrated their ability to undertake independent
research. As a part of the graduate diploma, they should normally have taken
JST4680 (Research paper A in Japanese studies), and as a prerequisite for this,
JAL4610 (Research methodology for applied linguistics in Asian languages).
This
is a one-and-a-half-year full-time or three-year part-time program consisting
of one-third coursework and two-thirds (66 per cent) thesis. It may be
commenced in either semester. The coursework will usually comprise two 12-point
units in applied Japanese linguistics. With the permission of the graduate
coordinator, one of these may be replaced by a relevant unit from outside the
school or by 12-points of Japanese language.
Note that the minimum pass grade for units in the Master of Arts in Applied
Japanese Linguistics by research and coursework is 60 C, ie a grade of credit
or above is required in every unit and for the thesis.
Candidates undertaking a 66 per cent research load will normally be required to enrol for all the units in the coursework component on Clayton campus and may then apply for transfer to external candidature.
