You will develop and present a live performance in a public venue, which will normally be in one of the fields of directing, theatre making or dramatic writing. Your performance will embody the results of the research investigation, which will be into the contexts, theoretical influences, aesthetic elements and performance making processes of the project. The thesis will be an explication and analysis of the performance research project and will address methodological and theoretical issues that arise during the research investigation.

The performance will normally be 60-90 minutes and the thesis 30,000-35,000 words. The combined elements should constitute the equivalent of a research submission of 80,000 words. Calculations of equivalence are based on the proposal that one minute of actual stage time at this level is equivalent to at least 700 words of dialogue and stage directions. A performance work of 60-90 minutes would thus be equivalent to 40,000-45,000 words.

Bachelor of Social Science

Description

Social scientists strive to understand, analyse, describe and explain the human world and their position within it, just as scientists attempt to describe and comprehend the natural world. The Bachelor of Social Science is designed to help you make sense of our rapidly changing global culture.

Equally relevant to the professional world of work and the world of knowledge, the course will enable you to develop the skills needed to contribute to the social and cultural fabric of the community and to become truly global citizens. It will introduce you to a range of study areas in the humanities and social sciences. You will read, debate, examine and discuss issues, learning to carefully build arguments and propositions, to think independently and to develop new ways of approaching problems.

Description

How can we conceptualise the most important challenges confronting our global communities, devise new and innovative solutions to these challenges, and communicate the solutions effectively? The Bachelor of Global Studies course has been designed for students who seek to be leaders in applying their knowledge to these global challenges.

The course aims to develop leadership for social change focusing on key capabilities: creativity, teamwork, cross-cultural collaboration, critical thinking, self-learning, analytical writing skills. We seek to cultivate a rich understanding of the interplay of local, regional and global forces and equip you with sharp analytical abilities and flexible, imaginative and well-informed disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches. All core units will enable you to apply your learning in practical and professional 'real life' contexts.

A key component of the course is a required period of study overseas that can be completed intensively at a Monash international campus or at a prestigious partner university.

Part of the required overseas component of the Bachelor of Global Studies can be completed by accessing the Monash Arts Global Immersion Guarantee - a guarantee* funded overseas experience to China, India, Italy, Indonesia or Malaysia. A new benchmark in globally-focused education, you will have the opportunity to spend two weeks studying overseas, with airfares and accommodation all covered as part of the degree.

*Eligibility requirements apply: First year Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Global Studies students (and relevant double degrees) in good academic standing, who have undertaken 24 points of credit (including a minimum of 12 points Arts) and have passed all their Arts units.

Double degrees

The Bachelor of Global Studies can be taken in combination with the following courses:

  • B2001 Bachelor of Commerce
  • L3001 Bachelor of Laws (Honours)
  • S2000 Bachelor of Science.

This will lead to the award of two degrees, the Bachelor of Global Studies and the degree awarded by the partner course. The requirements for the award of the Bachelor of Global Studies degree are the same whether the award is earned through a single or double degree course. Students should refer to the course entry for the partner course and the course mapcourse map (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2019handbooks/maps/) for the double degree for the requirements of the other degree.

Specialisations

Cultural competence

This is a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary field that fosters leadership in intercultural awareness. A critical component of this specialisation is language learning. Language is studied as a critical site of cultural interaction and negotiation, conflict and cooperation. Students can begin, or further their studies, in Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean or Spanish.

Human rights

Human rights is an interdisciplinary specialisation, examining the history and the nature of human rights and addressing basic issues such as: What are human rights? Are human rights culturally relative? How can human rights be justified? You will examine how these issues relate to pressing practical problems, for instance, how an understanding of human rights helps to address issues such as global poverty, unequal access to medicine, refugees, terrorism, warfare, children's rights, humanitarian intervention, torture, surveillance and more.

International relations

This is a discipline that examines the dynamics of global politics and economics, including the relationships between political institutions, international organisations, governmental and non-governmental players. It uses evidence-based explanations to study war/conflict, development, financial, and other crises at the global level.

International studies

International Studies examines the origins, processes and contestations of globalisation in the contemporary world. Ordinary people's experiences and responses to global integration are at the centre of our inquiry. It examines how local communities around the world embrace but also challenge aspects of globalisation, in four interlocking spheres of the human condition:

  • Global health and disease
  • Environment, cities and sustainability
  • Crisis, conflict and disaster
  • Commerce, technology and consumption

Global health and disease

The ways in which people experience good health or disease are increasingly influenced by global factors, such as the growing movement of people and animals, the spread of pollution and pathogens, the development of new medical technologies and treatments, and international institutions that coordinate health and security responses to disease outbreaks. Where and how people live and die - local matters - determines their access to primary healthcare, so an understanding of culture, global wealth distribution, and development is an essential component to studying global health and disease in this stream.

Environment, cities and sustainability

By the end of this century, the majority of the world's population will live in cities. Meanwhile, climate change is in progress, and the way we live within our natural and built ecosystems, among people and with animals, is inherently interconnected and subject to new pressures. This stream focuses on the impacts of a changing environment in an increasingly urbanised world. It provides students with the means to critically examine ways in which a more sustainable mode of living on the planet are being devised by researchers in a range of disciplines, and why the humanities and social sciences bring an important set of analytical skills to understanding the challenges of sustaining a just, prosperous life for all on the planet.

Crisis, conflict and disaster

Crises in our contemporary world take many forms - in the movement and displacement of people, discrimination, poverty and injustice, violence and suffering. War and political conflict, pollution and exploitation, natural and industrial disasters, and biological catastrophes like pandemic disease outbreaks, are among the many topics examined here. This stream brings these realms of human experience, as well as the increasingly internationalised responses to them, together in one stream to examine the causes and consequences of global crises.

Commerce, technology and consumption

Global trade, the production and consumption of commodities and culture, and the uptake of new technologies are among the primary ways that ordinary people experience and are drawn into globalisation. Flows of trade, money, ideas, entertainments and people are fundamental to an integrated world, and yet are also basic to how questions of justice, development and difference are negotiated and disputed. The tensions between the agency of individuals and the power of commercial and corporate entities - and between the local and the global - are core queries we pursue in this stream.

Outcomes

These course outcomes are aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework level 7 and Monash Graduate AttributesAustralian Qualifications Framework level 7 and Monash Graduate Attributes (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/alignmentofoutcomes.html).

Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that you will be able to:

  1. identify, define and describe key global challenges
  2. apply knowledge about key global challenges to understand and examine different global contexts
  3. compare and contrast a range of solutions to global challenges in different historical, linguistic and geographical settings
  4. demonstrate sophisticated knowledge of models of leadership and social change
  5. construct and communicate new understandings and practical innovative approaches to global challenges.

Overseas study costs

This course includes a compulsory overseas study component.

Specialisations

Digital humanities

Digital humanities is an innovative, multidisciplinary specialisation at the intersection of the study of human culture and digital technologies, of the disciplines of the arts, humanities and computing. It utilises a variety of different critical approaches that make use of new digital technologies to research and understand media communication. Rather than taking digital technologies as simply objects of study, digital humanities employs them as tools for making sense of the media-saturated world in which we live and the cultural transformations that are taking place with their development. By combining the expertise of the faculties of Arts, IT, and Art, Design and Architecture you will develop the necessary skills to create and evaluate digital media content, use digital technologies to analyse complex problems and creatively express yourself and to work both independently and collaboratively with others across disciplines boundaries. The specialisation will prepare you for professional media practices such as data journalism, data visualisation, data archiving, social media analysis and other computer-mediated communication analysis, and interactive experience design.

Journalism

The Monash Journalism Program is one of the most dynamic in Australia. One of the key strengths of Monash Journalism is its foundational teaching of both the practice of journalism addressing all production technologies (print, broadcasting and podcasting, photojournalism and digital) and the study of journalism. Our program is designed for students to understand the history, power and context of journalism alongside units, which offer practical experience using multifaceted platforms and technologies. In doing so, it prepares you for the professional practice of high-quality journalism. This blending of critical enquiry and industry engagement provides you with an opportunity to explore journalism in all its facets, and to address the vital issues of the media today.

The program is taught by award-winning journalists and renowned journalism academics, in a multi-million-dollar purpose-built facility at the Caulfield campus. Monash Journalism is designed to facilitate entry to an exciting and challenging profession providing internship opportunities. It imparts advanced skills in research and communication for professional practice and is founded on the principle that robust and accurate journalism is an essential component of a democratic society. Students from many other disciplines and areas of study take our journalism units to learn critical skills in communication in a variety of approaches and media platforms, which improves their employability.

Media

The media specialisation provides a strong, grounded understanding of contemporary media. You will gain in-depth knowledge of media studies as a discipline and develop skills in media analysis that have applications across a wide range of professional contexts - from social media strategy in organisations to media management and communication and media policy. You will develop an understanding of the transition from 'broadcast' to 'networked' media systems and of the social, economic and political disruptions this transition has brought around the world. The specialisation introduces principles for making critical and ethical judgments relevant to professional practice in the new media environment. It offers an international approach, providing opportunities to locate yourself as a responsible global citizen.

Public relations

This specialisation will prepare you for a public relations career. It develops a critical understanding of all aspects of communication management and the role of strategic public relations in society, with an emphasis on ethical communication and stakeholder engagement. You will develop a strong understanding of the public relations industry in Australia and internationally alongside public relations theory. You will learn to research, develop, implement and evaluate strategic communication plans.

  8. communicate effectively with diverse audiences and in a variety of formats.

Structure

The course develops through three themes that combine to underpin media communication practice: Part A. Strategic knowledge, Part B. Practical and professional skills and Part C. Collaboration and leadership. Part D involves free elective studies.

Part A. Strategic knowledge

These studies build your competence in: analysing and understanding the current state and past developments in media communication locally and globally; understanding impacts of media and communication transformation, and media power; creating future scenarios and media communication visions by developing your preparedness and adaptability for future media communication change and creativity.

Part B. Practical and professional skills

This involves developing your competencies in linking knowledge and media practice in professional contexts, such as conceptual and implementation skills, project and content management skills, hands-on experience in putting knowledge into practice, and thereby testing and creatively experimenting with (strategic) knowledge about media transitions and transformations. It also involves developing your competency in ethical and legal aspects of media communication.

Part C. Collaboration and leadership

This involves competencies necessary for you to work in teams and in different knowledge communities and media communication professional settings. It includes competence in engaging with stakeholders, media literacy, and participatory research and media making in collaboration with experts from academia, industry, government, and the community. It also includes competency in social and cross-cultural awareness.

Part D: Free elective study

Free elective units in all specialisations enable you to further your knowledge in your specialisation, or media communication more broadly, or to select units from across the University in which you are eligible to enrol. If you are in a double degree course, some units required for the other degree can also be credited as electives towards the media communication specialist degree.

Requirements

The course comprises 144 points, of which 96 points are media communication studies and 48 points are free electives.

The course develops through theme studies: Part A. Strategic knowledge, Part B. Practical and professional skills and Part C. Collaboration and leadership. Part D involves free elective studies.

Elective units may be at any level, however, no more than ten units (60 points) can be credited to the media communication course at level 1 and a minimum of 36 points must be completed at level 3, of which 24 points must be from the specialisation. It is recommended that you complete level 1 sequences first as these lay the foundation for further study.

Gateway units (24 points) must be chosen from two specialisations in the first year of study. You are required to nominate your chosen specialisation at the end of your first year of study.

A minimum of 12 points must be chosen for the media practice labs units listed under your chosen specialisation, with at least 6 points at level 3, up to a maximum of 24 points of media practice can be counted towards a specialisation.

Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies

Description

The Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies course has been designed for those who want to develop a strategic and critical understanding of the role of mediated communication in society. Communication processes are integral to human society and culture. Since the 19th century rapid expansion and advances in media technologies have had profound impacts on developments in social, political, cultural and economic fields. In the 21st century, the impact of media technologies is expanding to all spheres of life, from interpersonal communication to professional practice, and enabling global networks of shared interests.

This course explores the workings of the media and will develop your skills in describing and analysing the organisation, processes, uses and effects of traditional and new communications technologies such as print, television, film, electronic and digital media, and the complex relationships between audiences, producers and policy-makers. You will learn to critically analyse the media, the structure of communications industries, and the relations between media, culture and power in global and local contexts.

You will develop your knowledge of the unprecedented change occurring in communication and media content, forms, technology and policy with wide-ranging implications for business, politics, public administration and everyday life globally. Building on this expertise, you will take complementary units in either global studies or journalism, leading to one of two specialisations:

  • Communication, media and screen studies
  • Global studies in communication and media.

All students will participate in a range of activities that develop key capabilities: creativity, teamwork, cross-cultural understanding, critical thinking, self-directed learning, researching and analytical writing skills.

Double degrees

The Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies can be taken in combination with the following course:

  • B2026 Bachelor of Business and Commerce

This will lead to the award of two degrees. The requirements for the award of each degree are the same whether the award is earned through a single or double degree course. Students should refer to the course entry for the partner course and the course mapcourse map (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2017handbooks/maps/) for the double degree for the requirements of the other degree.

Specialisations

Communication, media and screen studies

This specialisation will provide you with a strategic and analytical understanding of the situated roles and limitations of communication and the media and related fields in local and global contexts. You will extend this expertise in communication and media to include skills in utilising historical, textual and critical approaches to film and television, and related new screen technologies.

Bachelor of Criminology

Description

Criminology is the study of crime and social control. Crime, how we define it, how we understand its causes, and the ways we respond to it provides a window into a society's challenges, values and aspirations. You will consider the local, national and global aspects of crime and justice and become familiar with a range of lenses for understanding and assessing the efficiency and impact of society's changing understandings and responses. You will gain an understanding of victimisation and perpetration, inequality and its impacts, and approaches to understanding crime and difference and learn about crime committed by individuals, groups, organisations and states and the mechanisms of the criminal justice system including police, courts and corrections.

You will engage with research and policy leaders in crime and justice and experience criminal justice in action in a range of international, national and local contexts. The course challenges you to apply abstract knowledge to real-world problems of crime and justice and develop solutions. You will be equipped to identify credible evidence, to understand how to measure and analyse the impact of policy, and to develop informed, independent thinking skills.

This course equips students with industry-relevant specialist skills to prepare for working and living in a world of constant technological, environmental, political and population change. These skills include the capacity to critically evaluate evidence, develop and support arguments, conduct research using a variety of methodological approaches, advanced oral and written communication and an understanding of the possibilities and challenges of reform.

Outcomes

These course outcomes are aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework level 7 and Monash Graduate AttributesAustralian Qualifications Framework level 7 and Monash Graduate Attributes (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/alignmentofoutcomes.html).

Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that you will be able to:

  1. Identify, define and describe key global challenges to crime and responses to it
  2. Apply knowledge of contemporary criminological concerns to understand and examine crime and responses to it at the local, national and international level
  3. Work independently and as part of a team to compare and contrast a number of approaches to crime across different cultural, historical and geographical settings
  4. Demonstrate sophisticated knowledge of models of engaging government and wider society to improve responses to crime and criminality
  5. Apply skills to construct and communicate effectively, a variety of socially just responses to crime to different audiences.

Structure

The course develops through three themes that combine to underpin criminology studies: Part A. Expert knowledge, Part B. Global reach and focus and Part C. Collaboration and innovation. Part D involves free elective studies.

Part A. Expert knowledge

This will provide you with a foundational understanding of crime as a complex phenomenon, its social, economic and political impact, and the advantages and limitations associated with different strategies to address it. Students will gain an advanced understanding and develop critical thinking skills to reflect on important social issues such as inequality, vulnerability, and risk that have significant implications for the way we think about and deliver responses to crime, social justice, and security both in Australia and internationally.

Part B. Global reach and focus

This will enable you to develop an understanding of crime as a truly global phenomenon. You will learn about national and international criminal threats and develop the capacity to think critically about the role of states in creating crime and social harm. From a comparative standpoint, students will study the ways that crime manifests in different jurisdictions and how different societies define, govern and respond to crime. Students will gain practical and theoretical knowledge.

Part C. Collaboration and Innovation

You will develop a suite of transferable professional skills to respond effectively to pressing criminal concerns. Students will learn the skills to engage necessary stakeholders to allow them to effectively formulate, influence and evaluate crime and justice policies and practices in a variety of professional contexts. You will develop a critical understanding and develop advanced communication skills for collaborative problem solving and be competent in working in teams to address the problem of crime.

Part D: Free elective study

You will consider the local, national and global aspects of crime and justice and become familiar with a range of lenses for understanding and assessing the efficiency and impact of society's changing understandings and responses. You will gain an understanding of victimisation and perpetration, inequality and its impacts, and approaches to understanding crime and difference and learn about crime committed by individuals, groups, organisations and states and the mechanisms of the criminal justice system including police, courts and corrections.

You will engage with research and policy leaders in crime and justice and experience criminal justice in action in a range of international, national and local contexts. The course challenges you to apply abstract knowledge to real-world problems of crime and justice and develop solutions. You will be equipped to identify credible evidence, to understand how to measure and analyse the impact of policy, and to develop informed, independent thinking skills.

This course equips students with industry-relevant specialist skills to prepare for working and living in a world of constant technological, environmental, political and population change. These skills include the capacity to critically evaluate evidence, develop and support arguments, conduct research using a variety of methodological approaches, advanced oral and written communication and an understanding of the possibilities and challenges of reform.

The globalising nature of information technology calls out for people who have both a strong technical background and an in-depth understanding of human society and the factors that are shaping it.

This double degree course is designed to meet this need. As a graduate you will have the technical expertise to shape and manage current and emerging technologies together with the lifelong communication, research and critical thinking skills that are acquired through study in the arts and humanities.

Bachelor of Digital Media and Communication

Description

The Bachelor of Digital Media and Communication course has been designed for those who want to develop a strategic and critical understanding of the role of mediated communication in society, and the new dynamics introduced by the internet and digital media. This course starts with the premise that communication processes are integral to human society and culture. From the introduction of writing, through printing, the industrial developments of the 19th century, and the more recent introduction of information technology, media technologies have had profound impacts on developments in social, political, cultural and economic fields of human endeavour. In the 21st century, the impact of media technologies is expanding to all spheres of life, from interpersonal communication to professional practice, and enabling global networks of shared interests and spearheading new industrial and economic developments.

This specialist course focuses on the role of digital media in society, and prepares students for professional environments where the production and distribution of digital media content are integral to the workplace. There are two strands of instruction. The digital media production and web design units introduce students to the basics of image and video production and editing, website and social media design, and website analytics. The digital society units introduce students to internet studies and the analysis of digital screen content. These strands come together in the final capstone unit that requires students to reflect on the role of digital technologies in society, and work in teams to develop an online platform that advocates awareness of social, cultural and/or political issues related to the use of the internet and digital media.

This course explores the workings of the media and will develop your skills in describing and analysing the organisation, processes, uses and effects of traditional and new communications technologies such as print, television, film, electronic and digital media, and the complex relationships between audiences, producers and policy-makers. You will learn to critically analyse the media, the structure of communications industries, and the relations between media, culture and power in global and local contexts.

You will develop your knowledge of the unprecedented change occurring in communication and media content, forms, technology and policy with wide-ranging implications for business, politics, public administration and everyday life globally. To sharpen this expertise, you will take specialised units that introduce digital and online production skills, and develop in-depth awareness of the interrelated dynamics of the internet and digital media, industry and society.

All students will participate in a range of activities that develop key capabilities: creativity, teamwork, cross-cultural understanding, digital literacy, critical thinking, self-directed learning, researching and analytical writing skills.

When you graduate, you will be ready to work in areas that require a detailed understanding of the processes and contexts of digital media production and distribution.

Double degrees

The Bachelor of Digital Media and Communication. can be taken in combination with the following course:

B2026 Bachelor of Business and Commerce

Description

Applied linguistics is one of the fastest growing fields of study in the humanities and is becoming increasingly recognised for its ability to solve language related problems at a micro and macro level. Professionals who can demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the use of language in varied situations are highly valued in the workplace.

This course offers professionals from a wide variety of disciplines the opportunity to expand their knowledge of how language works in the context of globalisation. You will gain a critical understanding of theoretical and practical issues relating to applied linguistics, including second/foreign language acquisition, language teaching, language contact and intercultural communication. Throughout our course, students are exposed to corpus methods and other 'big data' approaches to language analysis, leaving graduates well placed for a range of cutting edge careers in the language and technology field

The Monash Master of Applied Linguistics is particularly concerned with the implications of multilingualism and intercultural communication for modern society and the professional sphere. It is ideal for a range of professionals, including interpreters, editors, policy makers and health care professionals - in short anyone working with language issues in a multilingual and multicultural context. It is particularly recommended for language teachers (including English as a second or foreign language) teachers of VCE English Language and generalist teachers looking to improve their knowledge of grammar/language structures and the application of this knowledge to communication across cultures. With our focus on international languages (e.g. English, French, Mandarin, Spanish), our course will also be useful to anyone considering taking up a position in local, national or international organisations where one or more of these languages are used as a professional or necessary lingua franca. For some students, Monash's Master of Applied Linguistics also provides pathways to PhD study through research projects.

Monash's Master of Applied Linguistics is designed to give students a strong understanding of language structures and use across a variety of languages. By doing so, we provide in-depth knowledge of issues surrounding the teaching and use of language for international and intercultural communication.

In the core units, you will earn how language variation (e.g. multilingualism, English) comes to bear on communication across cultures. You also explore how we use language differently according to context and how language varies between different social groups. Students also develop their skills in language analysis and conducting small practice-based research projects within their own professional contexts. In elective units you will have the opportunity to specialise in areas such as discourse analysis, intercultural communication and teaching global languages.

You will be able to apply your learning to your own professional context as part of the assessment process and have the opportunity to complete a research project or internship. The research training in applied linguistics that you will receive, will also equip you as a graduate to make a significant professional contribution to the field.

Description

Our world is being shaped by big questions about global justice, war, peace, social movements, and inter-state relations. These questions help define what this Master of International Relations is all about. In short, this course offers students a window into the diverse and dynamic world of politics in the 21st century.

The course offers a range of topics such as global security, economics and human rights with three specialisations, focusing on:

  • governance and security
  • international diplomacy and trade
  • political violence and counter-terrorism.

You may also choose to complete advanced international relations.

This course provides you with a comprehensive knowledge of international affairs, grounded in the key debates framing global politics and driven by in-depth empirical analysis. Through this, you will be able to make sense of the complexity of global politics by providing the analytical perspectives and skills needed to see both the 'bigger picture' and comprehend detailed aspects of specific issues.

Subject to conditions, you have the opportunity to study abroad, and to develop research interests in a number of areas, providing them with a potential pathway into a higher degree by research. Our graduates have gone on to a broad range of occupations and have been employed by the likes of the United Nations, the Australian Government, and non-governmental organisations such as the International Red Cross.

Specialisations

Governance and security

This specialisation provides you with a comprehensive understanding of how power, authority, and participation is managed within and amongst states as well as challenges to this domestically and internationally.

This specialisation will advance your knowledge across international trade, diplomacy, and international law. It is designed for people at the start of their careers as well as people working in the field who want to develop their careers in international public policy, NGOs and government departments such as the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Political violence and counter-terrorism

This specialisation provides you with a critical engagement with manifestations of political violence, as well as the ideologies and conditions that give rise to political violence. Focus is on understanding terrorism and political extremism, the conditions associated with preventing and combating political violence, and the impacts of these activities on democratic and civil liberties.

Advanced international relations

This enables you to tailor your unit choices to suit your own interests or needs while addressing the fundamental debates framing global politics. By selecting across the range of specialisations, you will be able to examine key issues in foreign policy, international and comparative governance, world order and security, human rights, European studies, crisis management, diplomacy and trade, or terrorism.

Description

This is a double degree course leading to two master's degrees; the Master of International Relations and the Master of Journalism. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the nature of the international political system and some key issues in contemporary international relations, an entry-level qualification for a professional journalism career, and a mid-career course for working journalists seeking to extend their expertise and refresh the intellectual basis of their practice. The journalism component is designed to ensure graduates will make an excellent contribution to their profession using a full range of media technologies and the course has a particular focus on public interest and investigative journalism.

The course offers a range of topics in international relations such as global security, economics and human rights with three specialisations, focusing on:

  • Governance and security
  • International diplomacy and trade
  • Political violence and counter-terrorism.

You may also choose to complete advanced international relations.

Journalism studies focuses on finding the truth and telling the story and plays a crucial role in scrutinising and holding to account those in power and influence.

Subject to conditions, you have the opportunity to study abroad, and to develop research interests in a number of areas, providing them with a potential pathway into a higher degree by research. Our graduates have gone on to a broad range of occupations and have been employed by the likes of the United Nations, the Australian Government, and non-governmental organisations such as the International Red Cross, news media, or have become young entrepreneurs establishing their own firms both in Australia and internationally.

Specialisations

Master of International Relations

Governance and security

This specialisation will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how power, authority, and participation is managed within and amongst states as well as challenges to this domestically and internationally. Focus is on the practical applications of governance, institutions, the rule of law, and how this works in the contemporary global environment.

International diplomacy and trade

This specialisation will advance your knowledge across international trade, diplomacy, and international law. It is designed for people at the start of their careers as well as people working in the field who want to develop their careers in international public policy, NGOs and government departments such as the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Political violence and counter-terrorism

This specialisation provides you with a critical engagement with manifestations of political violence, as well as the ideologies and conditions that give rise to political violence. Focus is on understanding terrorism and political extremism, the conditions associated with preventing and combating political violence, and the impacts of these activities on democratic and civil liberties.

Advanced international relations

This enables you to tailor your unit choices to suit your own interests or needs while addressing the fundamental debates framing global politics. By selecting across the range of specialisations, you will be able to examine key issues in foreign policy, international and comparative governance, world order and security, human rights, European studies, crisis management, diplomacy and trade, or terrorism.

Outcomes

Refer to the outcomes for:

  • A6010 Master of International Relations
  • A6008 Master of Journalism

Fieldwork

The course involves extensive research and reporting in the field.

Structure

Double degree courses include all the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced or redirected.

Depending upon prior qualifications, you may receive credit for part of the course.

The Master of International Relations and the Masters of Journalism are each structured in three parts: Foundations for advanced studies, Core master's study and Advanced expertise.

Part A. Foundations for advanced international relations and journalism studies (24 points)

These studies will introduce you to both international relations and journalism studies at an advanced level. They are intended for you if your previous qualification is not in a cognate field.

Part B. Core master's study in international relations and journalism studies (96 points)

The international relations studies draw on best practices within the broad realm of international relations practice and research exploring the security, ethical, and economic dimensions of international relations. You will have opportunities to examine key issues in foreign policy, world order, European studies, crisis management, and terrorism.

The journalism studies draw on best practices within the broad realm of journalism practice. Through a combination of academic and practice-based work, you will gain a solid foundation in all production technologies - print, video, radio and online - in metropolitan, regional and international contexts.

Part C. Advanced expertise (24 points)

The focus of these studies is professional or scholarly work that can contribute to a portfolio of professional development. These studies will be credited to each of the two degrees and you will have the opportunity, if you choose, to undertake a cross disciplinary project or internship that integrates and draws on both fields of study, international relations and journalism.

You have two options:

  • a program of coursework study where you select the units to suit your own interests. This option includes the opportunity to undertake an internship in the field.
  • a 24 point research thesis. If you wish to use this master's course as a pathway to a higher degree by research you should take this second option.

If you are admitted to the course, and have a recognised honours degree in a cognate discipline including humanities or social sciences, you will receive credit for Part C, however, if you wish to complete a 24 point research project as part of the course you should consult with the course coordinator.

Requirements

The double degree comprises 144 points structured into three parts: Part A. Foundations for advanced studies (24 points), Part B. Core master's study (96 points) and Part C. Advanced expertise (24 points).

  • If you are admitted at entry level 1 you must complete 144 points, comprising Part A, Part B and Part C.
  • If you are admitted at entry level 2 you must complete 120 points, comprising Part B and Part C.

Description

Sustainability represents an increasingly influential facet of tourism planning, development, governance and management, encompassing a diversity of sectors as the industry continues to expand globally. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is also forecasting that the growth rate for emerging economies will be double the rate of advanced economies in the years leading to 2030 and that a sustainable industry can therefore play a significant role in the achievement of the millennium development goals.

Effective planning and policy making for international tourism, and for the management of environmental, socio-cultural and economic consequences is critical. There is a growing demand for well-qualified managers who not only have a broad and deep understanding of global business activity, but a clear insight into the consequences of planning and policy-making on the environment, society, culture and the economy.

This course looks at how tourism can be compatible with the development of sustainable organisations, urban and rural development/regeneration, natural resource management and wildlife conservation, as well as the diversifying benefits from international and domestic tourism. It facilitates the development of skills and techniques to develop tourism policies and practices in a global setting and to management tourism development and enterprises in the direction of more sustainable practice.

You are encouraged to take part of your studies overseas in order to broad your understanding of the international market and the role that a sustainable tourism industry can play in emerging economies. This course provides you with the opportunity to attend a partially funded intensive field school to study the patterns of development within an emerging economy in the Asia-Pacific such as Fiji, Vietnam or Cambodia.

Description

Choosing between two areas that interest you can be hard, so this double degree course enables you to make the most of your talents and study both science and music.

Physics, mathematics and music have been related for millennia in the art and science of acoustics but the links are much more extensive. The latest developments in physics, psychology, human biology, materials science, information science and statistical analysis all give us new answers to ancient questions about music - what it is, why we make it, how we make it, why we listen to it and how it is changing.

Whether your music specialisation is in composition music technology, ethnomusicology and musicology or performance, a broad understanding of science will illuminate and enrich the experience.

And if your main focus is science, music expertise will offer interesting opportunities not available to everyone - perhaps working on treatments for auditory conditions or mapping sound to interaction.

NOTE: For learning outcomes and other relevant information of this double degree, refer to the single degree entries:
