Master of Arts in China Studies -72 cp (NEW)

International Studies also offers the following coursework postgraduate programs in conjunction with the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences:

These two programs are articulated so that subjects taken for the Graduate Diploma can be credited as 48 points towards the MA in International Studies.

Students intending to complete the 72 credit points MA in International Studies are encouraged to enrol directly into this program, rather than enrolling initially in the Graduate Diploma and transferring to the MA. This assists students and International Studies staff with planning an appropriate sequence of subjects.

Both of these programs provide opportunities for students from any disciplinary background to study a language and culture other than English and thus add an international dimension to their undergraduate qualification.

In particular, the programs enable students to:

  • Learn or improve the language of a country they choose to study
  • Learn about cultural diversity and comparative social change
  • Learn about contemporary society in the country they choose to study

Students completing the MA program also have the opportunity to spend a semester of In-country Study at a university in their country of study, or write a dissertation related to this country.
