1) Admission to the Master of Arts program is available by two means:
a) Applicants for direct entry to the Master of Arts program should have obtained a Bachelor degree from an approved tertiary education institution, with passes at least at credit level in six courses other than first year courses; or
b) Admission to Part B is available to students who have completed the coursework courses (36 units), or equivalent, for a Graduate Diploma of Arts, specialising in History with an overall average mark of at least 70%. In the case of students transferring from Graduate Diploma enrolment, the completed Graduate Diploma coursework will count as status for Part A of the MA degree.
2) In the case of students who enrol initially for the MA but who fail to achieve the required 70% average mark for coursework, they will have the option of reverting to Graduate Diploma enrolment and having that credential awarded on the basis of the level of coursework completed.
