Postgraduate Studies

Research degrees in Australian Studies

The Australian Centre currently has over 40 postgraduate research students, and offers a friendly, supportive and stimulating environment for postgraduates.

We see ourselves as providing opportunities to develop innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to postgraduate research, drawing theoretical nourishment from a range of disciplines. We encourage our postgraduates to avoid overly narrow definitions of what constitutes a "thesis", and to take an interdisciplinary and imaginative approach to their projects. This includes being alive to the issue of what it means to be a "writer".

Coursework degrees in International Studies

The Australian Centre co-ordinates a cross-Faculty and interdisciplinary suite of postgraduate full-fee coursework degrees in International Studies. Core subjects have a focus on contemporary issues of the nation-state, globalisation and cultural identity, and students have the opportunity to take a range of elective subjects from across the Faculty.
