This course provides students who already have an honours degree in anthropology, sociology or other cognate disciplines with the opportunity to expand, update and deepen their knowledge and understanding. Other students may gain entry to this masters course by first completing a masters qualifying with a research component. Students may choose such a program for various reasons, including the desire to pursue their own intellectual interests, gain more specialised and detailed understanding of a particular area, acquire technical and applied skills and knowledge, or prepare themselves for a PhD and a career in research and teaching. The course takes one-and-a-half years full-time or three years part-time.
Applicants should have an honours degree with a grade of H2A or above in a relevant discipline (or equivalent qualification) or a masters qualifying with a research component in anthropology and sociology with an overall grade of H2A or above as well as a distinction or above in the research component.
The course comprises two 12-point units selected from those listed below and a thesis of 20,000 to 25,000 words (66 per cent). Alternative units may be taken with the approval of the school graduate coordinator.
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.
The minimum pass grade for units in the Master of Arts in Anthropology and Sociology is 60 C, ie a grade of credit or above is required in every unit and for the thesis.
