A selection of courses within the Master of Arts or other suitable
courses (up to two) from another Faculty may be made in consultation
with the Program Coordinator of the Master of Arts. Two pathways are
available: 8 units of coursework, or 6 units of coursework and 2 of
exegesis, dissertation or project. ANT4002 and ANT4001 cannot normally
be included in the interdisciplinary pathway.
Students would usually only take these courses below once they
