Introduction
Master of Arts
The Master of Arts is a flexible, postgraduate degree that allows you to undertake a bespoke research project on a topic of your choice. It will equip you with deep knowledge to bolster your CV, demonstrate your expertise and prepare you for a PhD should you wish to continue your studies.
At CDU, you can choose a research topic that aligns with one of the following focus areas:
- Cultural and creative research
- Indigenous research methodologies
- Indigenous policy development
- Indigenous engagement
- Yolgnu languages and culture
You'll benefit from access to an expert, dedicated research supervisor, who will support you to think critically and creatively. You'll be guided to shape a research thesis or piece of coursework that is unique, carefully considered and robust in its findings.
In a world where opinions are rife, but facts and considered thought may not be, your ability to critically evaluate ideas, concepts and information will set you apart.
