Entry requirements

On the recommendation of the head of the department, the Arts faculty board may admit to masters candidature an applicant who has gained tertiary qualifications in the form of either a honours degree in a relevant discipline or a pass degree with credit level grades or better in at least the third part of a major sequence relevant to the course applied for, or who has qualifications which the faculty board deems to be equivalent.

An applicant with a honours degree with a grade of H2A or H1, or a qualification deemed to be equivalent, may be admitted to either part I or part II of the degree by coursework or by research (thesis).

An applicant with a honours degree with a grade of H2B, or a qualification deemed to be equivalent, may be admitted to either part I or part II of the degree by coursework.

An applicant without an honours degree or its equivalent can only be admitted to part I of the degree by coursework.

On the recommendation of the head, an applicant who has qualified with an approved graduate diploma (or its equivalent) in a relevant discipline with credit level grades or better may be admitted to part II of the degree by coursework or by coursework and research (thesis).

The phrase `qualification deemed to be equivalent' means that the head of the department may recommend to the faculty board that an applicant with a tertiary degree and, say, at least five years of relevant full time employment or similar experience be admitted to candidature at a level appropriate to that qualification.
