Interdisciplinary recommended enrolment pattern
Students are able to enrol in any offered mode of a course (on-campus, external or online), regardless of the program mode of study they enrolled in.
A selection of courses within the Master of Arts or other suitable courses (up to two) from non-Law postgraduate programs may be made with the approval of the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and 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 have undertaken at least one semester of study of the MA, unless advised otherwise by the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts.
