Master of Arts (MA)

The main objective of the MA by research program is to train candidates who are not professionally in the fields of archaeology, museums, heritage preservation or art history, but desires to engage in independent research and writing in those subject areas. Further the MA program is also intended for those who do not intend to embark on a PhD program immediately after the MA. As such the principle objective of the MA by research program is to set the pace for the emergence of a community of scholars with advanced training in these subjects, because these subjects play a pivotal role in the national identity politics that define the contemporary debates on the idea of nation, nationality, and nationhood. Further it is also hoped that persons with advanced training in these areas of research could contribute to a range of industries that include, but not limited to, tourisms, entertainment, television and media, and digital-marketing.
