The Master of Applied Arts and Humanities (Research) offers both full-time and part-time study options, allowing you to collaborate with experienced researchers who maintain strong industry ties on either a thesis or creative endeavor. Potential focus areas span diverse fields such as communication, journalism, creative writing, cultural heritage, industrial design, visual communication design, architecture, landscape architecture, TESOL/FLT, and international studies.
Throughout the program, you'll gain specialized expertise in current advancements within your selected discipline while developing either a 60,000-word research thesis or an innovative non-traditional output (like a creative work or design) that responds to a research problem, supplemented by a critical analysis. This adaptable program fosters interdisciplinary approaches that reflect modern professional environments, equipping you with distinctive creative advantages for career advancement.
