Students complete a full semester of coursework (24 points), followed by a 66 per cent thesis of 20,000 to 25,000 words. 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 fifth-year-level 12-point units in Asian studies.

The thesis topic must be determined in consultation with the supervisor, who is to be selected in consultation with the graduate coordinator.
