This program is designed to give students the opportunity to pursue the study of Australian society and culture at an advanced level. Building on a basis provided by relevant interdisciplinary courses, students go on to develop and complete an appropriate research thesis.
The minimum entry requirements are a four-year honours degree with a grade of H2A or above, or a masters qualifying with a research component with an overall grade of H2A or above, as well as a distinction or above in the research component, or qualifications judged to be equivalent.
Students must complete two core units for a total of 24 points:
plus a 66% thesis of 20,000 to 25,000 words.
Candidates undertaking a 66% 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 Australian Studies is 60 C, ie a grade of credit or above is required in every unit and for the thesis.
