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 at the time of initial enrolment. Faculty will then determine the number of units of credit to be granted. Advanced standing will not be granted for courses completed more than six years previously. The maximum advanced standing for a Masters is 18 uoc (equivalent to three courses), a Gradudate Diploma is 12 uoc (equivalent to two courses) and a Graduate Certificate is 6 uoc (equivalent to one course).
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.
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. Please check MyUNSW in November for details.
Re-enrolling research students should contact the Graduate Research School in Rupert Myers Building. |
