Administrator: School of Art History & Theory
Students enrolled in the Master of Art Administration (Honours) complete 24 units of coursework
(normally taken as 4 courses of 6 units), and undertake a program of independent, supervised
research to produce a thesis (72 units and may take the form of a written thesis or an art
administration project, together with supporting written documentation). The length of the thesis
may vary but will not normally exceed 30,000 words.
Each research student is allocated a supervisor with knowledge of the field. In addition, at
least one co-supervisor is appointed. Students are expected to meet regularly with the supervisor.
Contact with other staff and postgraduate students is maintained through participation in the
postgraduate seminar program.
Coursework courses offered by the College of Fine Arts are listed under coursework Masters
degrees. Students will discuss the courses to be taken with the program co-ordinator and the
supervisor. Approval for the coursework courses, the thesis topic and supervisory arrangements is
given by the Standing Committee.
