Overview
This degree provides an opportunity for graduates to develop their research skills, to deepen their knowledge in some area of international study and to undertake some original, independent research.
UTS: International Studies has strong expertise in China studies. Candidates may choose to write their thesis in English or in a language other than English, such as Chinese, where UTS: International Studies has sufficient supervisory capacity.
Career options
The research degrees offered by UTS: International Studies are especially valuable for those wishing to pursue an academic career or a career in research.
Admission requirements
Each applicant should, prior to application, discuss their proposed thesis topic with UTS: International Studies' research coordinator to determine whether supervision is possible. Information and application forms are available in English and in Chinese.
Course duration and attendance
The maximum course duration is two years of full-time, or four years of part-time study.
Students can complete in less than the maximum time. Students are, in general, not required to attend classes, however, regular contact is maintained with the candidate's supervisor(s) throughout enrolment.
Course structure
This degree is undertaken wholly by thesis. A Master of Arts thesis is normally a work of around 40,000 words and is examined by two appropriate examiners, at least one of whom is external to UTS.
Candidates who are resident in China and who have difficulty travelling to Sydney can receive supervision in China through periodic visits by their supervisor, email contact and cooperation with a local university.
Theses can be supervised in the fields of cultural diversity, social change, contemporary culture, politics and modern history in China, Japan, Europe and the Americas.
