Master of Arts

A graduate-level qualification in the fine arts, humanities or social sciences, this degree lets students study a chosen subject in greater depth and strengthens career prospects. The programme is organised across four semesters and mixes classroom classroom teaching, trips to field sites, industry training, visits to historical sites and project work. The university also notes that some master's programmes elsewhere allow online or distance study. Admission calls for an undergraduate background in the arts or science stream, and the stated length of study is two years.
