Postgraduate Studies in Asian Studies

A list of theses produced at the Centre for Asian Studies can be viewed online.

A list of postgraduates in Asian Studies can be viewed online.

The Centre for Asian Studies offers two research degrees:

  1. the MA degree in which students are expected to make a significant contribution to knowledge, and
  2. the PhD degree in which students are expected to make an original contribution to knowledge

Both degrees require a specific program of research under appropriate supervision. Masters degrees take two years full-time and PhD degrees take up to four years full-time. Both degrees are the final stage of training for professional practice of the discipline in academic and/or public and private life.

Supervision in a range of discipline areas from Asian politics, international affairs, society, history and religion to language and literature is available within the Centre (see staff profile).

A limited number of scholarships, although highly competitive, are available to both Australian and overseas applicants. The Centre provides adequate office space and access to computer terminals and meets limited costs associated with photocopying, conferences and field research.

Centre for Asian Studies Postgraduate Academic Review (CASPAR)

CASPAR is a seminar series for postgraduate students from the Centre for Asian Studies, as well as postgraduates from other areas of the University with a research interest in Asia. Run by the students, it provides an opportunity to share their research with others in an 'academic' but relaxed and comfortable setting. It usually concludes with a coffee in a cafe nearby.

CASPAR is open to anyone with an interest in researching Asia. For more information please contact Joel Rathus.
