Postgraduate Study in the Faculty of Arts
The Faculty of Arts offers 25 postgraduate coursework degrees at Master, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate level, across more than 30 subject areas. The postgraduate program caters for a range of study interests, whether you’re seeking higher academic qualification in your chosen discipline, a broader, stimulating course of study in a new discipline you’ve always wanted to investigate, or selective, focused non-award study.
In 2007, the Faculty introduced exciting new graduate courses in areas as diverse as Film Studies, Publishing, English Language in Australia and Digital Communication and Culture. More new courses are available in 2008.
