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 graduate 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 coursework office. Application
forms can be obtained from the coursework office or from the Arts faculty
website at
http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/prospective/admissions/course_application/postgraduate.html.
Timely applications close in November for programs commencing in semester one
or in June for mid-year entry. Students who are applying for
Commonwealth-supported places are advised to apply early as there are limited
places available. Students applying for fee-paying places may apply after the
normal closing dates.
Candidates undertaking study by off-campus learning mode should ensure that
their application and enrolment is completed early so that there are no delays
in receiving course materials.
