A Message from the Dean

UNSW is a progressive university, which engages in a practical way with key contemporary social issues. That ethos is reflected in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. We combine time-tested traditions of scholarship with progressive new ways of thinking, and apply that knowledge to the challenges of the contemporary world.
As a postgraduate student you have the opportunity to engage with leading scholars, both established international figures in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines, and also a rising generation of outstandingly talented researchers.
The Faculty is proud of the quality of the supervision we offer PhD and Masters by Research students. Our comprehensive range of facilities, services and support are designed to maximise your academic experience and contribute to your success. This support includes access to first-rate facilities, such as an extensive University library and 24-hour access to computer resources. You also have available to you individual access to workstations (on a competitive basis), support for research costs, conference attendance and, often, opportunities to gain teaching experience.
As a postgraduate research student, we encourage you to participate in our lively intellectual and collegial environment. You will have many opportunities throughout the year to participate in seminars, workshops, lectures and conferences.
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. Our coursework programs focus on your professional development, as well as the exploration of areas of interest in greater depth. The need for continued study and skills development is widely recognised among employers, in industry and in educational circles. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of people developing an existing career, as well as those embarking on a new one.
Our coursework programs are offered at the Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Masters level, in specialist fields, such as professional development in Education, Public Relations and Advertising, Journalism and Communication, NAATI-accredited Interpreting and Translation, Applied Linguistics, Counselling Social Work, Policy Studies, Development Studies and International Relations. Our innovative Master of Philosophy program in Higher Education is a unique research and coursework degree, specially designed for teachers in higher education, who want to deepen their understanding of the contemporary profession and to develop their research capability in the scholarship of learning and teaching.
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 community of outstanding scholars and ambitious students, buzzing with challenging ideas and focused activity. I welcome you as one of its new members, and I hope that your time with us is stimulating, challenging and fruitful.
