The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences maintains its own web server at www.arts.unsw.edu.au which provides information to prospective students as well as course information for current students.
Applicants for admission to all postgraduate programs can apply directly to the University using the UNSW Apply Online service: https://apply.unsw.edu.au
Alternatively, a paper-based application can be submitted. Application forms should be returned to The University of New South Wales, UNSW Sydney NSW 2052 Australia. Students seeking advanced standing must submit documentary evidence of courses completed on admission and specify the courses they wish to complete within the Faculty. Faculty will then determine the number of units of credit to be granted. Advanced standing will not be granted for courses completed more than 6 years previously.
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences provides general purpose Macintosh computer laboratories in the Morven Brown and Mathews buildings. Special purpose laboratories are located in the Robert Webster Building. Self-access to the general purpose laboratories is available, outside class hours, 24 hours 7 days per week. Printing charges apply. Access to email and the Internet is available. Further information can be obtained from the Technical Resources Centre, Room 105, Morven Brown Building.
The Learning Centre at UNSW offers support to Arts and Social Sciences PhD and Masters by Research students with academic writing and academic English. Students may consult staff at the Learning Centre to discuss drafts of their chapters or proposals. Dr Sue Starfield, the Director of the Centre, also offers weekly academic English workshops, specifically for international PhD and research Masters students. For further information, please contact Dr Starfield at:
The Learning Centre Level 2, Library Building The University of New South Wales Sydney NSW 2052 Tel: (02) 9385 3369 Email: s.starfield@unsw.edu.au A postgraduate research student may normally be granted up to two semesters of leave during their period of candidature for a particular degree. This period may be exceeded where a case is established to the satisfaction of the Research Committee that leave is appropriate on health, compassionate or other grounds accepted by the Committee.
Postgraduate coursework students whose progress is satisfactory may apply for leave of absence from their studies for no more than two semesters. In order to obtain units of credit for a course, a student must in that course:
(a) satisfy attendance requirements (b) complete satisfactorily any assignments prescribed (c) pass any prescribed examination. Coursework students who fail to complete at least 16 units of credit or fail a course in any session may be required to 'show cause' as to why they should be permitted to proceed with their studies. Research students' progress is reviewed each session and is overseen by the Faculty's Research Committee. All re-enrolling postgraduate coursework students are expected to re-enrol via the web. Room G63 in the Morven Brown Building is available to students in the Faculty for enrolment purposes.
Re-enrolling research students should contact the Graduate Research Institute in Social Sciences and Humanities office, Room G14, Morven Brown Building, for details in November. |
