The Master of Arts (Specialisation) enables graduates to undertake advanced postgraduate coursework study in a Humanities, Social Sciences or Law specialisation. The course has been designed so that students can build on knowledge they have gained through their undergraduate study or gain advanced knowledge and research expertise in a new area of study. Graduates will have specialised knowledge and skills for research, and/or professional practice and/or further learning. This on-campus, 1.5 years full-time (or, up to 4 consecutive years part-time) course is available at Hobart and/or Launceston (not all specialisations are available on both campuses). Some units will be available by off-campus study. Specialisations available are as follows: International Politics Police Studies Public Policy

In Australia and around the world, employers are increasingly seeking graduates who can speak and write clearly; who are computer literate and understand how to use technology; who know about other countries, cultures and societies; who can solve problems creatively; and who have developed that flexibility of thought which technical and vocational training rarely encourages. Arts graduates find jobs in, for example, advertising, journalism, the arts, diplomacy, interpreting and tourism, management and administration, and research and publishing.
