The faculty offers a wide range of postgraduate coursework degrees designed to add to, or build on, knowledge acquired in a bachelors degree. `Coursework' is used to describe all arts courses in which the bulk of work completed is selected from a list of offered units. There are currently more than 700 students undertaking coursework postgraduate programs in the Faculty of Arts.
Prospective coursework students can choose from a variety of courses. These
range from faculty certificates developed for students with professional
experience at senior level but no formal university degree and postgraduate
diplomas for those with bachelors degrees to masters courses, many of which
enable some students with a bachelors degree direct entry into masters
candidature.
Students enrolled in postgraduate coursework programs normally have set classes
and an outline for each unit. Most courses allow students to enrol in a
research project, where they can specialise in their own area of interest,
under supervision.
Admission is by direct application to the Faculty of Arts. Applications can be obtained from the coursework office or from the Arts faculty website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au.
