Candidates with an honours degree or a masters qualifying with H1 or H2A result (including a distinction or above result in the research component) in women's studies and gender research (or equivalent) are eligible for admission. This degree is normally completed in one-and-a-half years full- time or three years part-time study.
Candidates are required to submit a thesis of 20,000 to 25,000 words (66 per cent). The topic will be of an interdisciplinary nature in the area of women's studies chosen in close consultation with the supervisor and graduate adviser. Students must also take two units totalling 24 points, one of which must be WSM5180 (Sex, power, self: feminist interventions in contemporary discourse) unless completed at level four, an elective selected from among the level-five units listed at the end of this section. The minimum pass grade for units in the Master of Arts in Women's Studies by coursework and research 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 of the units in the coursework component on Clayton campus and may then apply for transfer to external candidature.
