High-quality research lays the foundation for cutting-edge innovation, technological advancement, economic growth and knowledge expansion. In the fields of arts and social science, such research has deepened our collective understanding of global challenges such as inequality, poverty, human rights, cultural preservation, and conflict and violence. Today, ongoing research continues to provide unique insights and perspectives around cross-disciplinary issues such as climate change, corruption, health inequity and food security. The Master of Research in Arts is a unique postgraduate research training degree that will equip you to complete a PhD within three years, if further research is your goal. With mentoring from experts in your field, youll specialize in research preparation and focus on a specific research topic at the sub-discipline level to deliver a 20,000-word thesis. The degree also provides a strong background for employment in a range of national and international non-academic settings.
