Faculty information
Introduction - Faculty of Arts
The Arts entry is divided into three main sections - 'Faculty information'; 'Research programs' and 'Coursework programs' (the courses offered and the requirements of these courses); and 'Unit information' (listed in the back of the handbook). Students should refer to the relevant entry to ensure they understand the structure of their course.
It is important that students read and understand the requirements of their course so that completion is not delayed or jeopardised. If students require further assistance, please refer to the contact information under the entry `Where to get help and advice in the faculty'.
Faculty structure and contacts
The Faculty of Arts is one of the largest in the university in terms of student and staff numbers. It operates on the Berwick, Caulfield, Clayton and Gippsland campuses in Australia, at the Monash Malaysia campus in Kuala Lumpur and at the Monash South Africa campus in Roodepoort, Johannesburg. The faculty is also represented by the university's centres in Prato, Italy, and in London, UK.
The chief officers of the faculty are the dean and the faculty manager. The dean is a professor of the faculty and presides over meetings of the faculty, the faculty board and its committees, and is especially concerned with staffing and finance. In addition, the faculty has four associate deans whose areas of responsibility include academic programs, graduate research, research and external affairs.
The faculty manager is responsible for the administration of the faculty, including superintendence over student administration and services, and provision of advice on policy and planning matters.
Students wishing to bring any relevant matters to the attention of the student members of the faculty board should feel free to do so. The student members can be contacted via the office of the faculty manager, Faculty of Arts, first floor, Menzies building, Clayton campus.
Research and coursework areas
The Faculty of Arts has divided its administration of courses into two main areas: the Arts Research Graduate School and the Arts Coursework Office. The course information section is divided into the same two sections: research and coursework.
Where to get help and advice in the faculty
Throughout their university course, students are strongly encouraged to seek advice regarding any problems they experience with studies or workload with their tutors and lecturers, or their supervisor. The faculty also has experienced course advisers who can assist students with administrative inquiries or direct them to the correct service for academic difficulties. Students can make course advice appointments by contacting the Arts faculty office on their home campus. Students are also strongly encouraged to observe the relevant course requirements listed in this handbook to avoid getting into course-related difficulties, which can result in a delay in completing their course.
As well as seeking course advice, students can make use of Language and Learning Services, which assists students with problems concerning study, learning and the use of English. Language and Learning Services is located in the Menzies building, Clayton campus, and can be contacted on +61 3 9905 5069 or +61 3 9905 2263 (or visit the website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/lls/). In addition, the faculty has a Transition and Student Progress Committee (TaSP), whose members can assist students with academic difficulties arising from a range of personal or academic issues, or refer them to other university support services. TaSP can be contacted on +61 3 9905 2107 or by email at tasp@arts.monash.edu.au.
In addition to faculty services, the university offers a wide variety of support services for students. A comprehensive list of faculty and university services for students experiencing difficulty can be found in the Student Resource Guide, also available on the web at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks.
Contacts
Staff in the faculty offices provide advice and assistance to prospective students and enrolled students as well as handle inquiries from the general public on a range of faculty and course matters.
Campus contact details can be located on the web at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/contact.html.

Graduate research - Faculty of Arts
Research students can apply for entry to the university to conduct research on a specific area of interest at masters or PhD level. Students select their research topics, which need to reflect the faculty's research strengths. Students then work under the guidance of a trained supervisor or supervisors to produce a thesis which is presented for examination.
The research environment
The Faculty of Arts at Monash attracts one of the largest enrolments of higher degree by research candidates of any arts faculty in Australia. The faculty provides a diverse, stimulating and supportive environment for graduate researchers and, in conjunction with the Monash Research Graduate School, offers a range of funded support for higher degree candidates to undertake research. Masters by research and PhD candidates in arts have access to the full suite of Monash research resources both in Australia and overseas, and to specialist resources in the faculty.
Research support
In addition to expert and attentive supervision in a wide range of specialisations, the faculty provides an impressive range of research induction and research training seminars and special events for both commencing and continuing students. The seminar programs include topics such as the literature review, research resources, getting published, useful software, applications, thesis writing and examination. For more information visit http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/research/graduate-research/current-students/welcome.php.
Professional experience
The Faculty of Arts also recognises the importance of providing its graduate students with professional experience of various kinds. The faculty has a long tradition of employing its own graduate research candidates as sessional teachers, casual research assistants and in other capacities. In addition to providing candidates with additional income while they pursue their research degrees, this employment also facilitates the acquisition of a range of transferable skills. During their time in the faculty, students will also have the opportunity to develop and extend their research and communication skills in their chosen field, and also to acquire a range of additional skills in other areas.
Research publishing
Graduate researchers in the Faculty of Arts are encouraged and supported to participate in a professional research culture, as evidenced by their rate of publication. A substantial proportion of the faculty's research publications reported to DEST is authored or co-authored by graduate research students. This achievement is just one indication of the highly productive and professional graduate research environment fostered by the faculty and its schools. To further promote publication by research candidates, the faculty has instigated a special program, Graduate Researchers in Print (GRiP). The GRiP groups are assisted by a facilitator who enables and informs participants in various aspects of publishing including identifying appropriate journals, preparing submissions, responding to reviewers' reports and providing critical feedback on draft material. For more detailed information, refer to the GRiP website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/research/grip.html.
Research strengths
Monash University's Faculty of Arts is well known for high quality research in the humanities and social sciences. The Faculty of Arts has identified a number of established research strengths which provide the basis for PhD and masters research, and masters coursework, in a range of disciplines. For information on Faculty of Arts research strengths visit http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/research/research-staff/research-strengths.php.
Scholarships
All research students with a first class honours (H1) degree or the equivalent may apply for a range of research scholarships, including the Australian Postgraduate Award and the Monash Graduate Scholarship. Scholarships close on 31 October each year for students starting in the following year. Information on scholarships may be obtained from the website at http://www.monash.edu.au/phdschol/schols/.

Faculty of Arts awards and prizes for enrolled candidates
Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Publication Award
Candidates who have submitted their thesis within one month of the application deadline, or are due to submit within two months of the application deadline and aim to prepare a manuscript for publication based on the postgraduate research undertaken for the degree, may apply for a Postgraduate Publication Award (PPA). The Arts PPAs are in addition to the Monash University PPA; both offer a stipend equivalent to the APA/MGS rate for four months.
Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Publication Prize
Postgraduate students who have had a prestigious publication in a DEST publication category in the previous year which was included in the school's research publication collection can be nominated for a Postgraduate Publication Prize of $1000. The winner will also receive an award certificate from the faculty.
Commonwealth-supported RTS places (course fees)
Commonwealth-supported Research Training Scheme (RTS) places are currently available to all Australian citizens and permanent resident students for the duration of their research candidature. No course fees are payable by such students and no course fee debts are incurred. All APA/MGS scholarship awardees receive a Commonwealth-supported RTS place.
Students enrolled in a research degree prior to 2007
There have been a number of changes to the requirements for research degrees over the years in respect to duration, thesis length and any coursework unit requirements. To find out the requirements for their research degree, students who commenced prior to 2007 are referred to the handbook of the first year of enrolment in the course. Past copies of the Handbooks are available at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks.
Masters degree candidature
Grades for the award of a research masters degree
The minimum pass grade for a masters thesis is 60 C (credit). The Faculty of Arts also gives an overall grade to each successful research masters candidate. There are three qualifying grades: honours 2B (60-69), honours 2A (70-79) and honours 1 (80-100).
Review of candidature for masters students
Students undertaking a 100 per cent research load will have a review after three months of full-time or six months of part-time candidature.
In addition, an annual progress report will be called for, which will include comments on residential attendance and the student's ability to maintain interactive communication with their supervisor.
Full details can be found in the Arts faculty `Research Survival Guide', available at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/research/survival/index.html.
External masters candidature
The Master of Arts program is also offered via external candidature.
Facilities/resources required
External mode applicants will need to satisfy both the school and the faculty's Arts Research Graduate School that their research environment has facilities and resources suitable for the proposed research, such as library and internet access, which will enable them to carry out their proposed research program.
Attendance
Students will have to attend a Monash University campus to meet with their supervisor(s) for 21 residential days over the period of candidature. This requirement may be filled in either one block of time or in several blocks.
Communication
The students must be able to demonstrate to the school and the Arts Research Graduate School that regular two-way communication - at least on a fortnightly basis - can take place with their supervisor. This communication can take the form of telephone, video conference, email or other means.
Transfer to external candidature
Current on-campus students may change to external mode, subject to fulfilling the same requirements as outlined above.
Upgrading from research masters to PhD
Students contemplating an upgrade from research masters to Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) must allow roughly two months for the upgrading process, a point to be noted especially by students approaching the time limit for masters candidature. Except in circumstances deemed exceptional, a transfer should occur after nine but before 24 months full-time equivalent candidature has elapsed. Students should discuss a potential upgrade with their supervisor in the first instance, after which the graduate coordinator or the head of the academic unit or centre should be consulted to make the necessary arrangements.
The decision to recommend an upgrade or not (or to postpone a decision) is made by a panel that includes the school graduate coordinator and the supervisor as well as other relevant academic school members.
The panel will base its recommendation on an oral presentation and a written submission by the candidate, plus any other information deemed relevant by the panel.
The candidate's written case for upgrading will provide details on the proposed research, report progress to date and a timetable for completion of each phase of the research program.
After the candidate has made an oral presentation and submitted the written statement, the review panel will meet to consider its decision. If the panel is in favour of the upgrade, a PhD candidature application form, together with the upgrade form and the candidate's written submission, are forwarded to the faculty and, if approved, to the university's Research Graduate School Committee for final approval.
For further information about the Arts Research Graduate School and research in the Faculty of Arts, visit the website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/research.
PhD candidature
All matters concerning the degree of PhD are handled by the Research Graduate School Committee of the Academic Board. The Arts Research Graduate School transmits all recommendations regarding the PhD candidature of arts students to this committee.
The `Doctoral Information Handbook' provides comprehensive information about the PhD degree and is available on the Monash Research Graduate School website at http://www.mrgs.monash.edu.au.
PhD students can start their candidature at any time of the year. Refer to relevant entries under `Areas of study' to obtain details of research interests for postgraduate supervision.
External PhD candidature
A number of external PhD places are available to suitable applicants. Both domestic and international students may apply, but it is usually expected that international students will have had some previous contact with Monash University. A 15-day residency period each year is obligatory.
Credit for prior studies
There is no provision for credit for PhD candidates.
Masters by research degrees with a coursework component
Students enrolled in a research degree prior to 2007
There have been a number of changes to the requirements for research degrees over the years in respect to duration, thesis length and any coursework unit requirements. To find out the requirements for their research degree, students who commenced prior to 2007 are referred to the handbook of the first year of enrolment in the course. Past copies of the Handbooks are available at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks.
Candidature rules
Grades for the award of a research masters degree with a coursework component
The minimum pass grade for masters coursework units and for the thesis is 60 C (credit). The Faculty of Arts also gives an overall grade to each successful research masters candidate. There are three qualifying grades: honours 2B (60-69), honours 2A (70-79) and honours 1 (80-100). The marks for the thesis will constitute 66 per cent and the units 34 per cent of the overall qualifying grade for the degree.
External masters candidature
Candidates undertaking a 66 per cent research load in all disciplines, apart from linguistics, will be required to enrol for all of the units in the coursework component on campus and may then apply for transfer to external candidature. Candidates undertaking a 66 per cent MA in linguistics will normally enrol for either both or only one of the coursework units on campus and then apply for transfer to external candidature.
Facilities/resources required
External mode applicants will need to satisfy both the school and the faculty's Arts Research Graduate School that their research environment has facilities and resources suitable for the proposed research, such as library and internet access, which will enable them to carry out their proposed research program.
Attendance
Students will have to attend a Monash University campus to meet with their supervisor(s) for 21 residential days over the period of candidature. This requirement may be filled in either one block of time or in several blocks.
Communication
The students must be able to demonstrate to the school and the Arts Research Graduate School that regular two-way communication - at least on a fortnightly basis - can take place with their supervisor. This communication can take the form of telephone, video conference, email or other means.
Review of candidature for masters students
Students undertaking a 66 per cent research load will be subject to a review three to six months after starting their research.
In addition, an annual progress report will be called for, which will include comments on residential attendance and the student's ability to maintain interactive communication with their supervisor.
Full details can be found in the Arts faculty Research Survival Guide, available on the web at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/research/survival/index.html.
Credit for prior studies for 66 per cent research masters courses
Candidates who have completed a Masters degree by coursework in a discipline directly relevant to the proposed research may apply for credit. Credit is subject to approval by the discipline and the Arts Research Graduate School and will only be granted for units which have been completed at fifth year level with a grade of Distinction or above with an equivalent or greater value of points to the credit sought.
Requirements for candidates without previous research experience
Candidates who have been admitted to the 66 per cent research program on the basis of 75 per cent Distinction/High Distinction in their Postgraduate coursework program without having undertaken an independently supervised research project, will still be required to enrol for a 12 point research project as part of coursework component in their 66 per cent research Masters degree, irrespective of whether credit has been granted for 5th year level units or not.
Postgraduate coursework programs - Faculty of Arts
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.
General information about the different course types
Graduate and faculty certificates
Certificate programs are specifically designed to cater for students who wish to undertake a short postgraduate course, either to enhance vocational skills or prepare for further study. These programs can be completed in six months of full-time study or one year of part-time study. International students are not permitted to enrol in faculty certificate programs.
Students who complete a certificate program with a grade of credit average or above may apply to transfer into a relevant graduate or postgraduate diploma and obtain a maximum of 50 per cent credit towards the completion of that diploma. Some of the graduate and postgraduate diplomas articulate with masters programs.
Students who successfully complete a faculty certificate program are awarded their certificate by the faculty and do not participate in the university graduation process.
Graduate and postgraduate diplomas
Postgraduate diplomas in the Faculty of Arts are one-year (or part-time equivalent) programs that enable students to build on the knowledge gained in their bachelors degree by completing further studies in one of their disciplines or majors. Postgraduate diplomas will normally consist of postgraduate level-four units.
Graduate diplomas are one-year (or part-time equivalent) programs that give students an opportunity to add a new discipline to those they have studied in their undergraduate degree and enhance their career prospects. Students who complete the requirements of a graduate diploma can apply to transfer to the relevant masters-level program.
Graduate Diploma in Languages
The Graduate Diploma in Languages allows students to complete the equivalent of an undergraduate major in a chosen language selected from Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Spanish, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese and Korean. This course is available part-time only and is normally completed over three years, as language units must be studied sequentially. Information on how to meet the requirements of a major in each language can be found under the `Areas of study' section on the Arts faculty website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/prospective/course/postgraduate/study_areas/index.html.
Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (Research)
Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (Research) program is similar to an honours degree and designed to prepare students for a masters or PhD. Students normally complete the program in one year of full-time or two years of part-time study and undertake level 4 units to the value of 48 points.
For further information on research disciplines, see the `Research programs' entry.
Minimum pass grade
Students undertaking a Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (Research) must obtain:
- at least a credit average (60 C) in order to satisfactorily complete the program
- a distinction result in the research project and a distinction average overall to be eligible to proceed to a research degree.
Masters by coursework
A 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) programs
The Faculty of Arts currently offers 72-point masters by coursework programs in twenty nine 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 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.
Minimum pass grade
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.
One-year (48-point) programs
These one-year, masters by coursework programs are offered in three disciplines - bioethics, history and visual culture. Students undertake 48 points of coursework units at level 5 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.
Minimum pass grade
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.
