2007 research degree candidates' thesis titles and supervisors (PDF file, 28kb)
The SASA Research Office is working with ACUADS to create a database of research degree theses currently underway in University art and design schools across Australia. The database will enable information to be shared between schools, supervisors and candidates and may assist with allocating examiners.
From 2003-4, the SASA Research Office worked with ACUADS on a Foundation Studies Benchmarking Project - information about introductory programs within undergraduate degrees in Australian art and design schools was collated and disseminated for the purpose of establishing benchmarks.
