The Master of Arts (Cultural Heritage Studies) aims to meet the needs of both the existing cultural heritage industry and the expanding entrepreneurial sectors of both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage industry of the future.
This course builds upon the general education levels found among graduates, and through developing the professional heritage and research skills demanded by industry employers.

Part-time 3 years (6 sessions)
Entry to the Master of Arts (Cultural Heritage Studies) is open to those holding a Bachelors degree, other than the Bachelor of Arts (Cultural Heritage Studies) at Charles Sturt University. Applicants who have previous industry experience and demonstrable academic skills will also be considered. Students who have successfully completed the Graduate Diploma in Cultural Heritage Studies may apply and if admitted, receive credit for all the coursework subjects.
The course consists of a research project following completion of the Graduate Diploma in Cultural Heritage Studies.
Because of the hands-on and practical nature of the course it will be necessary for students to attend residential schools in some of the eight coursework subjects. Residential schools will be held in the mid-semester breaks in April/May and September/October. Students will be notified of precise residential school dates once they have been accepted for the course.
Depending on the research project they choose, students may also need to complete an internship in a cultural heritage institution.
