Postgraduate

The School of Social Sciences offers postgraduate degree programs by research and by coursework.

The Centre for Asian Studies offers the Master of Arts (Translation and Transcultural Communication) as a postgraduate coursework program. The program aims to develop the communication competence and research skills of Chinese-speaking students.

Postgraduate coursework programs are also offered out of the Master of Environmental Policy and Management in Geography, Environment and Population.

Collaboration between the Discipline of Geography, Environment and Population in the School of Social Sciences and the School of Architecture and Built Environment has brought about the introduction of the jointly taught Master of Planning Program and the Master of Planning (Urban Design) Program.
