Arts (Sydney) The University of Notre Dame Australia

Overview

The Arts (Sydney) MA program from The University of Notre Dame Australia is a thesis-based research degree. The degree program is individually designed and built around the methodological requirements of the research, the nature of the topic to be investigated and the candidate’s background.

If necessary, a candidate may also be required to undertake research training or further coursework as part of the MA program. Candidates will benefit from on-going support, mentoring or involvement in the University’s research culture.

The Master of Arts may be completed as a traditional thesis or a thesis by publication or as a non-traditional thesis (exegesis) and creative artefact. Your MA should be based on an advanced investigation into a significant question which is related to your current field of study or work. The thesis should make an original and substantial contribution to the humanities, social sciences, applied sciences or Aboriginal studies.

Remember that you must discuss your application with a suitably qualified member of the academic staff, preferably one you wish to be your principal research supervisor, before submitting an application to enrol in a Master of Arts.

Financial support for domestic candidates is available under the Commonwealth Government’s Research Training Scheme (RTS). International students, meanwhile, are required to pay full fees but may apply for a wide range of scholarships which are made available to candidates of exceptional potential.
