The Executive Master of Arts (EMA) is a next generation graduate program designed for students who want to deepen their knowledge of key academic disciplines while also acquiring the kinds of professional skills that will assure them of exciting career destinations. It is the first program of its kind in Australia and has been developed in consultation with the industry, government and community sectors.

The EMA will work for people who want a degree of influence in a world of expanding opportunities. It is a program that aims to foster ethical leadership and social engagement by bringing together traditional Arts disciplines such as philosophy, literary studies and politics with strategic knowledge in fields such as planning and finance. It does this from an Arts perspective and with the interests of humanities and social science students in mind. It will allow you to apply your knowledge to the real world, by providing you with networking opportunities with opinion-makers, employers and fellow students.

The Executive Master of Arts combines professional and disciplinary expertise:

• Leadership and management skills
• Professional communication skills
• Advanced critical thinking and analytical skills
• Practical skills in policy, finance and project management
• Disciplinary specialisation – history, languages, media studies
• Internship opportunities leading to career development
