Units indexed by faculty Master of Arts in Archaeology and Ancient History by coursework and researchCourse code: 2846 + Course abbreviation: MA(Res&Cw) + Course fees: domestic students - fee-waived RTS places available + 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton) Course descriptionThe Centre for Archaeology and Ancient History offers the only program in Victoria and one of only two in Australia that provides supervision of research degrees in Egyptology, and one of the few offering supervision in related areas of Near Eastern Archaeology. This course is designed for students wishing to combine coursework with research and for whom a research process of induction, training in methodology and concepts, and supervised project design will be particularly useful. Entry requirementsThe completion of a BA honours degree in archaeology, ancient history or, at the discretion of the course director, in a related discipline (results of H2A or better) or the Masters Qualifying in Archaeology and Ancient History with a research component (results of H2A or better both for the program overall and the research component) or applicants without previous research experience who have a postgraduate degree in a related discipline such as a fourth-year level graduate diploma or masters by coursework with grades of distinction or above in at least three-quarters of the units may be admitted to the 66% research degree, and as part of the required 24 points of coursework units enrol for a 12-point supervised research project. In the case of overseas or interstate applicants, qualifications matching the above, will be decided on a case-by-case basis. Course structureThe course comprises two 12-point units and a thesis of 20,000 to 25,000 words. The two units must be completed in the first year (if full-time) or the first two years (if part-time). All students will complete ARM5740 (Reading the ancient past) and ARM5060 (Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt), unless they have previously completed ARM4740 and ARM4060 as part of another program, in which case they will complete ARM5010 (Research topics in archaeology: the New Kingdom) and ARM5020 (Research topics in archaeology: Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt). External candidatureCandidates 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. Minimum pass gradeThe minimum pass grade for units in the Master of Arts in Archaeology by coursework and research is 60 C, ie a grade of credit or above is required in every unit and for the thesis.
