COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Master of Arts is a flexible, postgraduate degree that allows you to undertake a bespoke research project on a topic of your choice. It will equip you with deep knowledge to bolster your CV, demonstrate your expertise and prepare you for a PhD should you wish to continue your studies.
At CDU, you can choose a research topic that aligns with one of four focus areas, three of which explore unique perspectives on Indigenous Australia.
- Cultural and creative research
- Indigenous research methodologies
- Indigenous policy development
- Indigenous engagement
- Yolgnu languages and culture
You’ll benefit from access to an expert, dedicated research supervisor, who will support you to think critically and creatively. You’ll be guided to shape a research thesis or piece of coursework that is unique, carefully considered and robust in its findings.
In a world where opinions are rife, but facts and considered thought may not be, your ability to critically evaluate ideas, concepts and information will set you apart.

International students have 11 campuses and centres located around Australia where they could be studying, from tropical Darwin, the outback of Alice Springs or in one of Australia’s more famous cities, Sydney. CDU is ranked number four among Australian universities for undergraduate employment outcomes.
