| A Message from the Dean | ||||
|
UNSW is a progressive university that engages in a practical way with key contemporary social issues, and that ethos is reflected in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. We offer you opportunities to work with leading scholars, both established international figures in the Humanities and Social Science disciplines, and also a rising generation of outstandingly talented researchers. The Faculty is renowned for the quality of the supervision we provide for PhD and Masters by Research students. We have a state-of-the-art Research Laboratory, which provides in-coming Research postgraduates with study spaces and networked computers, printers and private note storage areas. We also organise seminars and workshops, which offer further opportunities to interact with your fellow research students. Individual Schools and Research Centres offer their own accommodation and computing facilities. The Faculty provides funds to support research costs and conference attendance, and we guarantee opportunities to undertake some teaching if you wish to gain that experience. When deciding to take a postgraduate coursework program, you may be seeking a professional qualification, preparing for a career change, or pursuing an intellectual passion. Whatever the case, our offerings, whether at Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Masters level, range from interest-driven programs in the MA to such specialist fields as Journalism, Applied Linguistics, Social Development and International Relations. Professionally oriented programs are offered in the Master of Educational Leadership, the Master of Counselling and the Master of TESOL. We encourage you to take an active role in the affairs of the Faculty and the University. Postgraduate students are represented on our main decision-making body, the Academic Board, as well as on many Faculty committees. We also welcome comments and feedback, as we are always on the lookout for ways to improve your experience. The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at UNSW is a vibrant community of scholars and students, buzzing with challenging ideas, focused activity and progressive change. I welcome you as one of its new members, and hope that your time with us will prove stimulating, challenging and fruitful. Professor James Donald Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
