Subjects
- Specifically, this postgraduate coursework program contains a range of majors for students to choose from. In the first semester of the program, full-time students take three units in their chosen major and one core interdisciplinary unit that introduces methodological approaches to arts research projects. In the second semester, students take another three units in their chosen major and a core interdisciplinary unit in which they design and plan a feasible major project to be completed in their second year of study. This project is completed in one semester in the Professional or Creative Project unit or, with staff endorsement, over two semesters in the Advanced Discipline Project units, which combined with successful completion of the Advanced Critical Reflection unit, provide a potential pathway to PhD entry at Curtin University. In the second year of the course, students will take additional units from their major and may practice skills from their major in an internship with an external organisation.
