The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program at UNSW Sydney's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences provides interdisciplinary research training tailored for modern scholars and future leaders. This program includes three mandatory components: a core course, a specialization-specific course, and a discipline-focused course, culminating in a 25,000-word thesis guided by faculty experts. The curriculum progresses from broad research foundations to specialized transdisciplinary study. Unlike conventional majors, these specializations reflect the Faculty's research excellence, faculty expertise, and current job market demands. Ideal for professionals returning to academia, it helps develop research capabilities and examine modern challenges through multiple disciplinary lenses. Graduates may qualify for doctoral studies.
This specialization fosters critical thinking about knowledge systems and ethical frameworks in Humanities and Social Sciences. You'll gain analytical skills to examine research methodologies and epistemologies, along with practical abilities to plan and execute ethically sound research projects.
