Units indexed by faculty Masters by courseworkA masters degree by coursework is a unit-based program that provides graduates with the opportunity to enhance their career prospects, update or add to their skills, or simply follow their interest in an area of the arts. 1.5-year (72-point) programsThe Faculty of Arts currently offers 72-point masters by coursework programs in 19 different disciplines. Candidates normally complete their masters program in 18 months of full-time study or three years of part-time study, including a 12 or 24-point research project. Students need to achieve a grade of credit (60) or above in core units and a credit average overall to complete the requirements of the masters degree. Students can exit from these programs with a graduate diploma after successful completion of 48 points, or with a Graduate Certificate of Arts after completing 24 points. Entry requirementsThe minimum entry requirement is normally a bachelors degree with a credit average in the final year. Those with an honours degree or a graduate diploma in a relevant area can apply for an advanced entry point (see ‘Advanced standing’). One-year (48-point) programsThese one-year, masters by coursework programs are offered in three disciplines - bioethics, history and visual culture. Students undertake 48 points of coursework units at fifth-year level and normally complete the course in one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study. In some cases, a research project of 12 or more points may be included. For students undertaking these programs, the minimum pass grade is a credit (60 C). Students must achieve a credit or better in all units to qualify for the degree.
