Master of Arts (International Relations)
The MAIR is a 72-unit coursework and research degree. Candidates complete 48 units of coursework and 24 units of thesis (15,000 words).
There is a requirement that candidates achieve a distinction (70%) average across all coursework units, with no fails recorded, and a minimum of 75% in their 12-unit core courses before proceeding to the thesis. A distinction is also required in the thesis before candidates are awarded the MAIR. A distinction is set at the level of 2A honours or around a B+/A average. All students offered admission to the MAIR are selected on the judgment that past achievements suggest the student can meet this level.
