2025 Postgraduate Handbook
The Arts and Social Sciences faculty offers you a suite of postgraduate courses and research areas developed in consultation with leaders in their field.
You can explore our courses using the navigation panel on the left. Each course is grouped alphabetically into “coursework areas.” Our higher degree by research courses appear under the “Research” page on the left.
Studying with the Arts and Social Sciences faculty will give you access to a vibrant, academically rigorous community including the schools and disciplines: Find out more about these schools on the website:

The handbook provides you with the rules and requirements of your degree and its components -- core and elective units, specialisations, and capstone units. It should be read in conjunction with the advice found in your Sydney Student Unit of study selection screens. While online systems will help ensure you meet these rules and requirements, it is also expected that you are familiar with these so you can make informed enrolment decisions accordingly.
