Masters of Arts - Postgraduate / Graduate Coursework

The region of Asia is diverse, with many ethnic groups and complex political arrangements. Home to some of the world's oldest civilisations, the region is now also the world's economic powerhouse, containing both post-industrial, wealthy societies and others struggling with economic development and poverty. Monash has a large number of researchers working on aspects of politics, history, economy and culture in Asia. Their knowledge and expertise are available to you through the Master of Asian Studies, providing you with the literacy and skills necessary to understand this most important and complex region.

With 70 per cent of Australian exports going to Asia and increases in investment, tourism, education and various cultural activities, the Master of Asian Studies provides essential professional training for a number of career options. Our past students have found employment with companies, government departments, NGOs and educational and other institutions where the engagement with Asia is important. Moreover, the demand for Asian expertise is worldwide - EU companies, for example, are searching for Asia literate employees.

The Monash program can lead you to a Masters of Asian Studies in three semesters and prepare you with a range of new and exciting directions for your career. The program provides recent graduates with an excellent way to "top off" a BA earned in a wide range of other disciplines. It is also tailored to the needs of mid-career employees and entrepreneurs wanting to direct their career towards Asia.
