- The Master of Arts uses a variety of teaching approaches, from face-to-face lectures, seminars, and workshops to blended learning. Small group learning and regular close contact with research-active academics are embedded across the program.
- Students complete 12 units worth of core courses in their chosen discipline and a capstone thesis also worth 12 units, which allows students to pursue their interests in greater depth.
- Unique to this degree is a 6 unit internship that provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in an organization related to their career aspirations.
- Students take elective courses from outside of their discipline areas to develop cross-disciplinary thinking and the ability to apply it to solve complex problems.
